Lomo Saltado is a Peruvian stir-fry dish made with beef, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, and other vegetables. It is a popular dish in Peru and is often served with rice or french fries. The beef is typically marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, and spices before being stir-fried. The potatoes are usually fried or boiled before being added to the stir-fry. The dish is typically seasoned with cumin, oregano, and chili peppers. Other variations of Lomo Saltado may include the addition of other vegetables such as bell peppers, carrots, or green beans. Some recipes also call for the use of beer or wine in the marinade. Lomo Saltado is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover beef.

Steps:
- Add 1-inch of vegetable oil to a heavy bottomed pot and heat to 340 degrees F (170 C)
- To make the marinade for the Lomo Saltado, mix the soy sauce, pisco, oyster sauce, red wine vinegar, and black pepper together in a bowl.
- Add the sliced beef to a bowl and marinate with half of the sauce while you prepare the other ingredients.
- To make the sauce for the fries, whisk together 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and some chopped cilantro.
- When the oil is up to temperature, add the potatoes and cook until the french fries are golden brown (about 7 minutes).
- To make the Lomo Saltado, add 1 tablespoon of oil to a large frying pan over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the marinated meat and stir-fry until the beef is almost (but not completely) cooked through. Transfer the beef into a bowl and set aside.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the frying pan and add the garlic and ginger. Saute until the aromatics are fragrant (about 30 seconds).
- Add the red onions and peppers and stir-fry until the onions are cooked through, but still hold their shape.
- Add the tomatoes and beef back into the pan and then add the remaining marinade. Toss to coat evenly. The Lomo Saltado is done when the sauce has caramelized around the ingredients. Do not overcook this; otherwise, the tomatoes will leach out a bunch of liquid, making your stir-fry watery.
- When the potatoes are done, drain and transfer them directly to the vinegar and cilantro sauce and toss them around to coat evenly.
- Plate the beef with rice and fried potatoes and then garnish with the cilantro. Enjoy it with your favorite hot sauce if you want to add some extra heat.

Steps:
- In a wok or large cast iron or stainless steel skillet, heat 2 tablespoons (30ml) oil over high heat until heavily smoking. Meanwhile, season beef all over with salt.
- Push scallions and peppers to the side and add tomatoes to the pan, allowing them to sear on one side, about 30 seconds. (If your burner isn't very strong, you can remove the scallions and peppers from the pan before adding the tomatoes to guarantee good searing. Otherwise, leave them in.) Try not to let the tomatoes grow too soft and pulpy; it's better that they retain their shape rather than brown to the point of becoming mushy.
- Add garlic and ginger and cook, tossing and stirring constantly, until lightly sautéed and fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add soy sauce and vinegar and toss to combine.
- Spoon stir-fry onto plates with a mound of cooked rice and French fries and serve right away.

LOMO SALTADO - PERUVIAN BEEF STIR-FRY AND POTATOES
The Peruvian One-Pan Meal Lomo Saltado is a traditional Peruvian dish of stir-fried beef and fried potatoes, served with rice. The beef gets a boost of sweet-and-sour flavor from a vinegar-brown sugar-soy sauce marinade, spiked with GOYA® Yellow Hot Pepper Paste -Ají Amarillo. This distinctive spicy paste is made from puréed, fresh yellow chile peppers called ají amarillo, native to Peru and South America. A tiny spoonful of the paste adds a subtly sweet, full-bodied flavor that is simply irresistible. In Peru, this beef stir-fry is the ultimate comfort food. It will be in your household too!

LOMO SALTADO (PERUVIAN STEAK STIR-FRY)
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.

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)
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!

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.

Steps:
- Make the marinade by mixing all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the meat to the bowl and mix so that it is well covered. Cover with cling film and leave in the fridge for at least 2 hrs, overnight if you have time.
- Drain the meat, reserving the marinade. Heat the oil in a wok over a high heat until just smoking, then add the meat - be careful, the oil might splutter. Cook as quickly as possible, tossing it until the meat is browned on all sides. Add the red onion and cook for 1 min. Add the tomato and chilli, then immediately spoon in the Pisco. Pour over the reserved marinade and chilli paste, stir well, turn off the heat and leave the meat to rest in the sauce for a couple of mins. Garnish with coriander and serve with chunky chips, if you like.
