Lomo Saltado – Immaculate Bites

What makes Lomo Saltado so special?

Lomo Saltado Peruano translates from Spanish to Peruvian beef stir fry. Stir-fried white rice and side dishes are due to Chinese influence. Local ingredients such as onions, tomatoes and peppers then complete this Peruvian delicacy.

And did I mention that this dish also comes with fries? Hmmm! I like fries on the side, but you can also add fries to this wok party for an equally delicious lomo saltado.

recipe ingredients

• French fries – What goes well with steak? Potatoes of course. And fried food is always tastier. 😉 If you want a healthier version, fries baked potato wedges.
• beef – Slice sirloin, ribeye, or skirt steak into 0.5-inch strips for flavor and meatiness.
• vegetable – A mix of red onions, peppers and tomatoes balances the flavors of a healthy meal.
• pepper paste – Bonus points for finding Asian Amarillo Paste at your local grocery store. Sriracha also has a tangy spiciness, so it’s your preference.
• beef broth – This ingredient adds depth of flavor to the sauce.

tips and tricks

1. Semi-freezing the beef makes it easier to cut. Don’t forget to put it in the freezer until it hardens 😬
2. When shredding beef, cut across the sinew. This will give you a softer, juicier final product.
3. Cook the meat in small portions to give it a nice browning. Cook everything together and the juices will start to steam the meat instead of charring it. not what you want.

This dish tastes best right out of the stove. However, you can slice and season the beef, slice the vegetables, and prepare the sauce for a quicker meal prep.
