Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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!

Notes

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.
