Lomo Saltado (stir Fried Beef)

"Lomo Saltado is a vibrant and flavorful Peruvian stir-fry that blends tender strips of beef with onions, tomatoes, and soy sauce, reflecting the country’s unique fusion of Asian and Latin flavor. This dish is quick to prepare, taking about 30 minutes, making it perfect for a hearty weeknight dinner. The ingredients are simple yet impactful: sirloin or flank steak, red onions, juicy tomatoes, garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, and a pinch of cumin for depth. The dish often includes fried potatoes, giving it a satisfying, crispy element. Traditionally, Lomo Saltado is served over white rice, which soaks up the savoury, slightly tangy sauce. To prepare, marinate the beef in soy sauce, garlic, and vinegar for about 10 minutes to enhance its flavor. Stir-fry the beef on high heat for a quick sear, ensuring it remains tender. Remove it from the pan, then stir-fry the vegetables until slightly softened but still vibrant. The beef is then returned to the pan, combined with the sauce, and tossed with the crispy potatoes. For the best results, use a wok or a large skillet to achieve the characteristic smoky flavor from high-heat cooking. Keep the ingredients moving in the pan to prevent overcooking. Serve immediately with a garnish of fresh cilantro for a touch of brightness. This dish is a testament to Peru’s culinary heritage, showcasing how simple ingredients can create a symphony of flavours. Whether enjoyed as a family meal or a quick treat, Lomo Saltado offers a taste of Peru in every bite."
