Instructions
MARINATE THE STEAK
- Whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, cumin and salt and pepper in a large bowl.
- Slice the steak into bite sized pieces and set into the bowl. Mix and marinate for at least 10 minutes. Set aside.
COOK THE POTATOES/FRENCH FRIES
- Cover the potatoes in a large bowl with cold water and let them soak for at least 10 minutes (this will help with crispiness).
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan or wok to medium-high heat.
- Season the sliced potato with salt and pepper, then cook for 10-15 minutes, or until cooked through to your liking. SEE NOTES.
- Set the potatoes aside.
MAKE THE LOMO SALTADO
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same pan or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion and peppers and stir fry for 2 minutes to soften.
- Drain the marinade from the steak but keep the marinade. Stir fry the steak with the onion and peppers 3-4 minutes, until the steak forms a nice crust.
- Add the stir fry marinade and tomato and stir fry for 1 minute.
- Add the cooked potatoes/French fries along with the cilantro and hot sauce, if desired. Stir fry to heat through.
FOR SERVING
- Serve the lomo saltado (stir fried steak and potatoes) over cooked rice. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro, spicy chili flakes, and hot sauce to taste.
Notes
- Nutritional information estimated without rice.
- Potatoes/French Fries. You can soak the potatoes longer to remove more of the starches, which helps with crispiness. I usually soak for 60 minutes or longer. You can also use more oil in the pan and fry your French fries to your liking, which will make them crispier. I prefer mine with less oil. You can also use frozen French fries, if desired. I like to cut mine into the same shape/size as the steak for easier eating.
