LOMO SALTADO

CHECK THIS OUT IF YOU WANT A LITTLE CULTURE IN YOUR LIFE

I’ll never forget the Summer of 2016. This was a Summer filled with community, memories and magic. I was working full-time at the Magic Kingdom for a Mission Trip with 43 other people from across the U.S. We all had Wednesday off and decided to travel out of our comfort zones for dinner. We were given the task to prepare international dishes and I had the pleasure of making a Lomo Saltado (Peruvian beef stir fry) with 10 other people. If you’re a person who likes dishes with numerous flavors, texture and color then you’re in for a treat! This dish involves a few things happening at the same time so get your friends to help and get cooking! Let’s take a journey and fuse the latin and chinese cuisine into one

Ingredients:

For the baked fries:

  • Canola oil/non-stick cooking spray
  • 2 medium potatoes
  • 2 tsp of olive oil
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Black pepper and sea salt

For the beef:

  • 1lb of lean beef sirloin
  • Sea salt
  • Black pepper
  • 2 tsp of olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper
  • 1 large jalapeno, ribbed and seeded, sliced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 2 tomatoes sliced into wedges
  • 3 tbsp of soy sauce
  • 2 tsp of apple cider soy sauce
  • ½ cup of chopped cilantro

Directions:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Cut the potato lengthwise into 1/3-inch thick slices; cut each slice into 1/3-inch fries. Place on the baking sheet and toss with oil to evenly coat. Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Place on a single layer onto the greased baking sheet. Bake uncovered on the lower third of the oven for about 25 minutes or until tender crisp and golden.

Meanwhile

  • Season meat with salt, pepper and cumin.
  • Heat a large wok over high heat. When hot add the oil and the steak, cook about 2 minutes, until browned on both sides. Add the onions, bell pepper, jalapeno and garlic and cook 2 minutes.
  • Add the tomato, soy sauce and vinegar and cook 1 more minute. Season with more salt as needed, remove from heat and finish with cilantro. Serve immediately with french fries and divide evenly between 2 plates.
