Savory Peruvian Lomo Saltado
Ingredients
  • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen French fries
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound beef tri tip, sliced 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 large onion, sliced into strips
  • 3 large tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and sliced into strips
  • 1 yellow chili pepper (preferably Peruvian aji amarillo)
  • 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
  • 1 dash soy sauce to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to a high temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
2
Arrange the frozen French fries in a single layer on an uncoated cookie sheet, ensuring they do not come into contact with the baking surface.
3
Bake the French fries in the preheated oven until they reach a light golden color, requiring approximately 22 to 24 minutes of cooking time.
4
While the French fries are baking, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan over an elevated heat level. Season the sliced beef with salt and pepper to taste.
5
Cook and stir the beef in hot oil until it is just cooked through, allowing the juices to release. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the beef to a plate for further use.
6
In the same pan, cook and stir the onions in the beef drippings until they become translucent, taking around 3 to 4 minutes. Introduce tomato and aji amarillo into the mixture, allowing it to cook until the tomato softens.
7
Pour 1-2 tablespoons of vinegar and soy sauce into the pan, mixing it with the existing ingredients.
8
Add the French fries and cooked beef to the pan. Cover the mixture and cook until the beef is fully cooked through, approximately 3 minutes later.
9
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the dish for garnish.
