Lomo Saltado

Step by stepInstructions

1. Season the beef strips with salt and pepper, and stir together the soy sauce, vinegar, and aji amarillo paste in a small bowl.
2. Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat until it smokes lightly, add 2 tablespoons of the oil, and sear the beef in a single layer for 1 to 2 minutes per side until browned but still pink inside; remove to a plate.
3. Add the remaining oil to the wok and stir-fry the onions for 2 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add the tomato wedges and stir-fry for 1 minute just until they begin to soften but still hold their shape.
5. Return the beef to the wok, pour in the soy-vinegar sauce, and toss everything for 1 minute until the sauce coats the meat and vegetables.
6. Fold in the crispy fries and most of the cilantro, toss once, and serve immediately over white rice with the remaining cilantro scattered on top.
