About this recipe

Lomo Saltado is Peru's beloved stir-fry, blending Chinese wok techniques with marinated beef strips. In this fit version the potatoes are baked instead of fried, cutting fat while keeping the dish high in protein and satisfying.

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 220°C. Toss the potato wedges with a little olive oil and salt, then bake for 25 minutes until crisp.

  2. 2

    Season the beef strips with salt and pepper. Marinate with 1 tbsp soy sauce and half the garlic for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Heat a large pan or wok over high heat with a little oil. Sear the beef in batches for 1–2 minutes, then remove.

  4. 4

    In the same pan, sauté the onion and chili for 2 minutes, keeping them crisp.

  5. 5

    Add the remaining garlic and the tomatoes and cook for 1–2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Return the beef, add the soy sauce and vinegar, and toss over high heat for 1 minute.

  7. 7

    Stir in the baked potato wedges and chopped cilantro.

  8. 8

    Serve immediately with the brown rice.

Tips

  • Sear the beef over very high heat in batches so it picks up that smoky wok flavor without overcooking.
  • Baked wedges replace fried potatoes to cut the fat while keeping the dish authentic.
  • Ají amarillo gives the classic Peruvian aroma; swap it for any mild chili if you can't find it.
