As promised, here it is, PERUVIAN LOMO SALTADO (Kinda, Sauteed Loin).
Start by cutting the beef in slices, fajita style. Remember to do this
across the grain, to make it more tender. Get a wok or large sautee pan
*very* hot (BTW, this is the real trick for fajitas or any chinese cooking
as well). Put about 2 tablespoons of oil and immediately place the beef in
and sautee in high. Sometimes you'll get juice out of the beef that will
prevent it from sizzling. Don't worry, try to take it out with a spoon and
reserve. If juices don't leach out keep going. Season with salt and pepper
to taste. Once the meat starts browning nicely put soy and vinegar to taste
(you are not making a sauce, so don't put too much of either) Then, put the
onion in to sautee briefly, then the Aji, and at the last moment, the
tomato wedges. Note, you definitely want the vegetables crispy but not raw.
Correct the seasoning.
You're Done! Wasn't that easy?
Tipically, this is served over very crispy french fries that will absorb
some of the sauce, and white rice on the side. If you mix it with
spaghetti or linguini, then it is called Tallarines Saltados, which is a
really GREAT way to serve these as leftovers, or as a dish on its own
right. Just put a little bit more soy sauce, as here you WANT some sauce.
Trust me, it's worth to make plenty for leftovers because you'll really
like it, plus it is fairly inexpensive, assuming you are a wise beef
purchaser....
Now you may be saying to yourself, (Put your name here) this sounds an
awful lot like fajitas! Well YES it does, just put some cumin as further
seasoning and proceed wrapping with flour tortillas and the standard sides!
