LOMO SALTADO (PERUVIAN STEAK STIR-FRY)



Lomo Saltado (Peruvian Steak Stir-Fry) image

I've never been a big stir-fry guy, but when it comes to lomo saltado, I make an exception. First of all, it's Peruvian--and I love to eat anything Peruvian. But, it's also a stir-fry that features not only meat and vegetables, but also French fries. Serve with steamed white rice and garnish with cilantro, if so desired.

Provided by Chef John

Time 1h50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ¼ pounds top sirloin steak
3 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
1 teaspoon white sugar
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 (16 ounce) package frozen crinkle-cut French fries
1 ½ cups sliced red onion
1 medium orange bell pepper, sliced
1 habanero pepper, seeded and minced
½ cup sliced green onion
kosher salt to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
4 medium roma (plum) tomato
¼ cup white vinegar
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Slice beef horizontally into 1/4-inch strips and transfer into a mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and the sugar. Mix well and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour; longer is fine.
  • Preheat an oven to 200 degrees F (90 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with a silicone liner (such as Silpat®).
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add French fries and cook until golden and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to the prepared pan and place in the preheated oven to keep warm.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in the same skillet over high heat until the oil begins to smoke. Sear the beef strips in 2 or 3 smaller batches, until browned but still pink in places, for 1 to 2 minutes per batch. You don't want to cook the meat all the way through, as it will finish cooking with the vegetables later. As each batch of beef is browned, transfer to a plate or bowl, and reserve.
  • Place the skillet back over high heat, and add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Transfer in red onion, bell pepper, habanero, and green onion, along with a large pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the onions and peppers just begin to soften, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add garlic and ginger to the pan; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add tomato wedges and cook, stirring, until they begin to soften and start to release their juices, about 3 minutes. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, white vinegar, and the browned beef into the pan, along with any accumulated juices, and stir to combine.
  • Stir cilantro and crispy, cooked French fries into the pan, tossing everything to combine. Taste for salt and adjust if needed. Serve immediately.

LOMO SALTADO (PERUVIAN BEEF AND POTATO STIR FRY)



Lomo Saltado (Peruvian Beef and Potato Stir Fry) image

People are often surprised to learn that Peruvian cuisine has a strong Chinese influence. A large Chinese immigrant community in Lima has given rise to a unique fusion of Incan, European and Asian cuisine called chifa cooking. Lomo saltado, a stir fry of beef and French fries over rice, is the ultimate example. I did not include the rice or French fry cooking time. Enjoy!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 lbs beef tenderloin
3 tablespoons oil
1 red onion, thinly sliced
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
2 -3 ajis amarillos chili peppers (Peruvian peppers) or 2 -3 other chili peppers, seeded and cut into strips
3 roma tomatoes, seeded and cut into strips
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
salt and pepper, to taste
1 lb French fries, freshly cooked
6 cups hot cooked rice

Steps:

  • Cut the beef against the grain into strips about 2 inches long and 1/4 inch thick. Get all of your ingredients ready and close at hand. Prepare the French fries and rice and keep hot.
  • Heat the oil over high flame in a large pot or wok until it shimmers. Add the beef and stir fry until it is just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  • Add more oil to the pot or wok if needed and return it to high heat. Add the onion, peppers and garlic and stir fry until the onion is cooked through, but still a little crunchy, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes, soy sauce, vinegar, salt and pepper and stir fry for about 1 minute more. Return the beef to the pot or wok, along with the French fries and toss everything together to heat through and mingle the flavors. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Place a big scoop of rice on each diner's plate and serve the lomo saltado over the rice.
  • VARIATIONS:.
  • Versions of lomo saltado vary widely. Try seasoning the dish with some ground cumin, oregano, chopped parsley or chopped cilantro. Omit the vinegar or substitute a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Ajís amarillos chiles lend a unique, especially Peruvian, flavor to this dish. Other chiles (jalapeño, serrano) can be used, but the flavor won't be the same. Or just use a red or green bell pepper for a mild dish.
  • Try adding a shot or two of pisco brandy at the end and flame it for a dramatic finale.

PERUVIAN STEAK STIR-FRY (LOMO SALTADO)



Peruvian Steak Stir-Fry (Lomo Saltado) image

Provided by Erik Ramirez

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

1/2 cup sunflower oil
1 medium red onion
3 cloves garlic
kosher salt
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1 large egg yolk
2 tablespoons rocoto chile pepper paste, available at Latin specialty stores or online
2/3 cup red bell pepper purée, roast and purée a red pepper, or purchase online
1 tablespoon fresh huacatay leaves (Peruvian black mint), optional, fresh or frozen; available at Latin specialty stores or online
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2/3 cup water, plus 2 teaspoons, divided
1/4 cup beef stock
6 tablespoons soy sauce, preferably low-sodium
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons beef stock, preferably unsalted; may substitute water
6 tablespoons oyster sauce
12 ounces beef tenderloin
kosher salt
1/2 medium red onion
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1/2 habanero pepper, or fresh aji pepper
3 scallions
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
2 tablespoons Water
2 tablespoons finely sliced cilantro leaves
French fries
Cooked white rice

Steps:

  • Crema de Rocoto: Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Peel and slice onion in half horizontally, then slice into strips. Slice garlic and add to the hot oil, along with the onions and a pinch of salt. Turn heat to high, stir to combine, and cook until caramelized, 5-8 minutes. Then remove from heat and let cool, 15 minutes.
  • Add cooled onion-garlic mixture to a blender; add evaporated milk, egg yolk, rocoto paste, and red pepper purée. Cover blender and blend on medium to combine, then increase to high and purée, 30 seconds. Taste for seasoning, and add salt to taste. Add optional huacatay leaves and purée again. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Makes about 1½ cups Crema de Rocoto. (Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.)
  • Slurry: In a small bowl, mix together 2 teaspoons water and cornstarch to make a slurry. In a small saucepan, add water and beef stock. Stir in the slurry and bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling and thickened, cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Lomo Sauce: In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce, red wine vinegar, beef stock, and oyster sauce. Set aside. Makes 1 cup Lomo Sauce. (Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 week.)
  • Beef Tenderloin: Slice tenderloin into 1-inch chunks. Sprinkle with salt all over and set aside to rest, 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, peel and slice red onion in half horizontally; then cut each half again vertically. Remove the center (save for another use), leaving the outer 3 or 4 layers. Cut each piece into three slices, separate the slices, and set aside in a bowl. Slice cherry tomatoes in half, and set aside in another bowl.Put on plastic gloves (optional), then discard seeds and stem of habanero. Julienne into very thin strips and add to the red onions. (If you're not wearing gloves, wash your hands after handling habanero.) Separate the white and light green parts of the scallions from the green tops. Trim away the roots and discard outer layer of scallion bottoms; cut into batons, and add to the onions. Thinly slice green tops and set aside to use as garnish. Peel and thinly slice garlic, and add to the onions.
  • Heat a wok or skillet over high heat and add oil. When smoking, add beef in an even layer. Sear on both sides, about 30 seconds per side. To the beef, add garlic, scallions, habanero, and onions. Add a splash of water, then shake and tilt the pan away from you, tossing the contents within the wok. (Optional: While tossing, allow the open flame to sear the contents. The flames give the dish a smoky char, but use caution, as cooking with an open flame can be dangerous in a home kitchen). Use a wooden spoon and continue tossing to stir-fry the beef until the onions are no longer raw but not fully cooked, 4-5 minutes. Add tomatoes, then stir and shake the wok. Then add ½ cup of Lomo Sauce and 2 tablespoons of the slurry. Stir in cilantro and continue cooking until the sauce has the consistency of a thin gravy, 2-3 minutes.
  • Assembly: Spoon stir-fry into a serving bowl. Drizzle a few tablespoons (or more!) of Crema de Rocoto on top and garnish with remaining scallions. Serve with optional French fries and white rice on the side.

LOMO SALTADO (PERUVIAN)



Lomo Saltado (Peruvian) image

Lomo Saltado is a Peruvian dish served with white rice on the side and fried potatoes served on top of the meat and vegetables. While this may sound odd, potatoes are originally from Peru and they are used in every possible way. Many Japanese moved to Peru several generations ago. The soy sauce gives good depth to the marinade.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 -1 1/2 lb skirt steaks, petite fillets, hanger or 1 -1 1/2 lb flat iron steak
2 medium red onions, cut in half lengthwise
1 red bell peppers or 1 green bell pepper, cut into strips
1 -2 jalapeno pepper, seeds removed and sliced into strips (optional)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
4 teaspoons red wine or 4 teaspoons sherry wine vinegar
4 teaspoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
5 medium yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into French-fry like strips
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 medium tomatoes, cut into wedges
1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaf

Steps:

  • Place steak in 1 bowl and onions in another. Using a knife, make a paste by combining garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk together garlic paste, vinegar, soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, cumin and ground black pepper. Divide marinade between steak and onions. Refrigerate for 1/2 hour.
  • While steak is marinating, cook potatoes. Drizzle them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with paprika. Put in a 375 degree oven and roast. Check them after 6 minutes and toss with a spatula. Depending on how thick you cut them, they should cook fairly quickly, so keep an eye on them; set aside.
  • Before cooking, allow steak and onions to come to room temperature. Place steak on in a hot saute pan with a little oil and cook about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on which cut you are using. Discard marinade. When done, let steak rest before slicing.
  • Place onions face down in saute pan and cook until slightly soft, about 6 minutes per side. When done, cut onions into wedges.
  • In a large bowl combine steak and juices, onions, peppers, tomatoes, cilantro and reserved marinade. Toss gently and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed. Season potatoes and place on top of meat and vegetables. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality beef: Look for flank steak or sirloin steak that is well-marbled and has a deep red color.
  • Slice the beef thinly against the grain: This will help it cook quickly and evenly.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, cumin, and other spices will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent the food from sticking and will also help to create a nice smoky flavor.
  • Cook the beef in batches: Do not overcrowd the wok, or the beef will not cook evenly. Cook the beef in batches, removing it from the wok when it is cooked through.
  • Use a high heat: Lomo saltado is a stir-fry dish, so it is important to use a high heat to cook the food quickly.
  • Add the vegetables towards the end of cooking: The vegetables should be cooked quickly so that they retain their crispness.
  • Serve immediately: Lomo saltado is best served immediately after it is cooked.

Conclusion:

Lomo saltado is a delicious and easy-to-make Peruvian dish that is perfect for a quick and flavorful meal. With its combination of beef, vegetables, and rice, lomo saltado is a complete and satisfying dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
