Classic Peruvian Lomo Saltado with Crispy Fries
Experience the vibrant flavors of Peru with this classic Lomo Saltado. Tender strips of marinated beef are wok-fried with sweet onions and juicy tomatoes, then tossed in a savory soy sauce and vinegar blend. The dish is completed with a generous serving of golden, crispy French fries, making it a truly satisfying and quick-to-prepare meal perfect for any night of the week.
Let's cook.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add beef strips and sear quickly for 2-3 minutes until browned on all sides but still slightly pink inside. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.
Add red onion wedges to the same skillet and stir-fry for 2 minutes until slightly softened. Add minced garlic and stir-fry for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Return the seared beef to the skillet. Add tomato wedges, soy sauce, red wine vinegar, and ground cumin. Toss everything together quickly for 1-2 minutes until the tomatoes are just heated through and the sauce has slightly thickened.
Gently fold in the cooked french fries. Cook for an additional minute, ensuring the fries are coated in the sauce and heated through.
Remove from heat and stir in the fresh chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately, ideally with a side of white rice.
