**Lomo Saltado:** A Peruvian Stir-Fry Delight
Lomo saltado is a classic Peruvian stir-fry dish that combines tender strips of beef, flavorful vegetables, and a rich, savory sauce. This dish offers a vibrant blend of textures and flavors. The beef is marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and spices, giving it a savory and slightly tangy taste. The vegetables, typically bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes, are cooked to perfection, retaining their crispness and vibrant colors. The sauce, made with soy sauce, vinegar, and beef broth, adds a delightful umami flavor to the dish. Lomo saltado is typically served with rice and is a beloved dish in Peru and beyond.
**In this article, we present two exciting variations of lomo saltado:**
1. **Traditional Lomo Saltado:** This recipe stays true to the authentic Peruvian version, using beef as the main protein. The beef is marinated in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and spices, then stir-fried with bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes. The dish is finished with a rich and savory sauce made with soy sauce, vinegar, and beef broth.
2. **Vegan Lomo Saltado:** For those who prefer a plant-based diet, this recipe offers a delicious vegan alternative to lomo saltado. Instead of beef, the dish uses marinated tofu or seitan as the protein source, providing a satisfying and protein-packed option. The vegetables and sauce remain the same as in the traditional version, ensuring a vibrant and flavorful stir-fry experience.
Both variations of lomo saltado are easy to make and can be enjoyed as a main course, accompanied by rice or your favorite sides. Whether you prefer the classic beef version or the plant-based vegan option, this Peruvian stir-fry dish is sure to tantalize your taste buds.

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.

LOMO SALTADO ( VEGAN )
Lomo Saltado is a Peruvian dish with Chinese influences. This dish is normally prepared with beef tenderloin, potatoes, and vegetables and served with rice - but this version ditches the beef!! The recipe calls for wheat gluten strips but you could also use SEITAN, TOFU, or PORTABELLA MUSHROOMS. Look for jarred aji yellow paste or aji amarillo paste in a Latin food market. If you can't find the paste, you can use frozen aji amarillo peppers (South American hot yellow chile pepper) or equivilant pepper. Thaw and dice one pepper, and saute it in olive oil until it's soft. This recipe is from Vegan International.

VEGETARIAN LOMO SALTADO
Love love love this recipe from Peru. It's part Latin flavors part Chinese flavors. If you can't find ajis amarillos chili peppers, try substituting ancho or even just green bell, if you like things mild.

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients in advance: Cut the vegetables and tofu into uniform pieces before you start cooking. This will ensure that everything cooks evenly.
- Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet: This will help to prevent the food from sticking.
- Cook the tofu in batches: Don't overcrowd the pan, or the tofu will steam instead of fry.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: They should still have a slight crunch when you're finished cooking.
- Serve immediately: Lomo saltado is best enjoyed fresh out of the wok.
Conclusion:
Lomo saltado is a delicious and easy-to-make Peruvian dish that can be enjoyed by vegans and non-vegans alike.
