Instructions
- To make french fries, peel and cut russet potatoes.
- Soak them in water for as long as you can. I soaked mine for a couple of hours.
- This takes the starch out and allows them to be crispier. Drain, dry and fry.
- Season the beef with salt and pepper.
- Add soy sauce, vinegar, beef stock and cumin in a bowl together.
- Put a pan over very high heat.
- Add oil and on very high heat cook half the meat, brown on one side, flip over and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Remove meat and repeat with second half.
- Stir in the onion and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and cook for just a minute. The tomatoes should hold their shape.
- Stir in soy sauce mixture.
- Add salt and pepper to taste
- Turn off the heat, toss with french fries
- Add chopped cilantro, green onion and serve with brown rice and aji sauce
- To make aji sauce, add the iceberg lettuce, jalapeno, mayonnaise, lemon juice, 1/2 head of cilantro and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the food processor and combine until completely smooth. Let sit for a few hours in the fridge if you can. The sauce will begin to separate after a few days, so don't make too much at once.
