Lomo Saltado
Description
Lomo Saltado is a stir-fry dish centering around sirloin beef strips cooked with aromatic vegetables such as red onions, yellow bell peppers, jalapeño, crushed garlic, and tomato wedges. The beef is seasoned with cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper before stir-frying over high heat to retain tenderness and develop a slightly browned exterior. Oven-baked potato fries are seasoned with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, providing a crispy and golden complement to the stir-fry.
The flavor profile results from the combination of savory soy sauce and tangy apple cider vinegar mixed in the pan, brightening the rich beef and vegetables. The finishing touch of chopped cilantro adds a fresh herbal element to the dish. It is plated with the fries, making a hearty and textured meal with the contrast of juicy beef, tender vegetables, and crisp fries.
This dish is served immediately after cooking to preserve the crispness of the fries and the tenderness of the beef strips. It can be a satisfying choice for lunch or dinner, offering both protein and vegetable components in a single pan. The simple seasoning highlights the natural flavors of the ingredients.
