Lomo saltado

Ingredients

Check you have the quantities below.

• 600 g beef sirloin, cut into strips
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 3 tbsp oil
• 1 large red onion, sliced
• 2 tomatoes, wedged
• 1 tbsp aji amarillo paste
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp vinegar
• 4 cups French fries, oven-baked or cooked separately
• 3 cups rice, cooked
• 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped

Let’s make it

1. Season the beef with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot pan with oil for 2–3 minutes, then remove.
2. Stir-fry onion and tomatoes briefly, then add aji amarillo, soy sauce, and vinegar.
3. Return the beef and toss just until heated through. Keep the meat juicy; whole beef cuts should rest 3 minutes.
4. Serve over rice with fries and cilantro.
5. Adjust seasoning and serve immediately.
