Lomo Saltado
- 1 pound sirloin steak (sliced into small pieces)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 red onion (thinly sliced)
- 3 tablespoons beef broth
- 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons aji amarillo paste
- 3 roma tomatoes (sliced)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
- Cooked French fries
- Marinate the sirloin steak slices in a mixture of olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, black pepper, and salt in a small bowl.
- Heat a wok or large saute pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle olive oil and add butter. Toss in the seasoned steak and sear until golden brown on all sides, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Transfer the steak to a plate, leaving some juices in the pan. Add sliced red onions and deglaze the pan with beef broth. Cook onions for 3 to 4 minutes, then add garlic and sauté for another minute.
- Stir in soy sauce, aji amarillo paste, sugar, vinegar, and tomatoes. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until tomatoes are soft.
- Return the steak to the pan along with cilantro and French fries. Quickly mix together and it’s ready to serve!
- Enjoy the warm goodness with rice!
If you prefer crispy fries, serve them on the side and don’t mix them into the sauce. Frozen fries work great, either deep-fried or baked in the oven.
