LOMO SALTADO (PERUVIAN STIR-FRIED BEEF WITH ONION, TOMATOES, AND FRENCH FRIES) RECIPE

Steps:

• In a wok or large cast iron or stainless steel skillet, heat 2 tablespoons (30ml) oil over high heat until heavily smoking. Meanwhile, season beef all over with salt.
• Push scallions and peppers to the side and add tomatoes to the pan, allowing them to sear on one side, about 30 seconds. (If your burner isn't very strong, you can remove the scallions and peppers from the pan before adding the tomatoes to guarantee good searing. Otherwise, leave them in.) Try not to let the tomatoes grow too soft and pulpy; it's better that they retain their shape rather than brown to the point of becoming mushy.
• Add garlic and ginger and cook, tossing and stirring constantly, until lightly sautéed and fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add soy sauce and vinegar and toss to combine.
• Spoon stir-fry onto plates with a mound of cooked rice and French fries and serve right away.

LOMO SALTADO (PERUVIAN STEAK STIR-FRY)

Steps:

• Slice beef horizontally into 1/4-inch strips and transfer into a mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and the sugar. Mix well and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour; longer is fine.
• Preheat an oven to 200 degrees F (90 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with a silicone liner (such as Silpat®).
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add French fries and cook until golden and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to the prepared pan and place in the preheated oven to keep warm.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in the same skillet over high heat until the oil begins to smoke. Sear the beef strips in 2 or 3 smaller batches, until browned but still pink in places, for 1 to 2 minutes per batch. You don't want to cook the meat all the way through, as it will finish cooking with the vegetables later. As each batch of beef is browned, transfer to a plate or bowl, and reserve.
• Place the skillet back over high heat, and add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Transfer in red onion, bell pepper, habanero, and green onion, along with a large pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the onions and peppers just begin to soften, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add garlic and ginger to the pan; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add tomato wedges and cook, stirring, until they begin to soften and start to release their juices, about 3 minutes. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, white vinegar, and the browned beef into the pan, along with any accumulated juices, and stir to combine.
• Stir cilantro and crispy, cooked French fries into the pan, tossing everything to combine. Taste for salt and adjust if needed. Serve immediately.

PERUVIAN STEAK STIR-FRY (LOMO SALTADO)

Steps:

• Crema de Rocoto: Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Peel and slice onion in half horizontally, then slice into strips. Slice garlic and add to the hot oil, along with the onions and a pinch of salt. Turn heat to high, stir to combine, and cook until caramelized, 5-8 minutes. Then remove from heat and let cool, 15 minutes.
• Add cooled onion-garlic mixture to a blender; add evaporated milk, egg yolk, rocoto paste, and red pepper purée. Cover blender and blend on medium to combine, then increase to high and purée, 30 seconds. Taste for seasoning, and add salt to taste. Add optional huacatay leaves and purée again. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Makes about 1½ cups Crema de Rocoto. (Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.)
• Slurry: In a small bowl, mix together 2 teaspoons water and cornstarch to make a slurry. In a small saucepan, add water and beef stock. Stir in the slurry and bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling and thickened, cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• Lomo Sauce: In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce, red wine vinegar, beef stock, and oyster sauce. Set aside. Makes 1 cup Lomo Sauce. (Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 week.)
• Beef Tenderloin: Slice tenderloin into 1-inch chunks. Sprinkle with salt all over and set aside to rest, 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, peel and slice red onion in half horizontally; then cut each half again vertically. Remove the center (save for another use), leaving the outer 3 or 4 layers. Cut each piece into three slices, separate the slices, and set aside in a bowl. Slice cherry tomatoes in half, and set aside in another bowl.Put on plastic gloves (optional), then discard seeds and stem of habanero. Julienne into very thin strips and add to the red onions. (If you're not wearing gloves, wash your hands after handling habanero.) Separate the white and light green parts of the scallions from the green tops. Trim away the roots and discard outer layer of scallion bottoms; cut into batons, and add to the onions. Thinly slice green tops and set aside to use as garnish. Peel and thinly slice garlic, and add to the onions.
• Heat a wok or skillet over high heat and add oil. When smoking, add beef in an even layer. Sear on both sides, about 30 seconds per side. To the beef, add garlic, scallions, habanero, and onions. Add a splash of water, then shake and tilt the pan away from you, tossing the contents within the wok. (Optional: While tossing, allow the open flame to sear the contents. The flames give the dish a smoky char, but use caution, as cooking with an open flame can be dangerous in a home kitchen). Use a wooden spoon and continue tossing to stir-fry the beef until the onions are no longer raw but not fully cooked, 4-5 minutes. Add tomatoes, then stir and shake the wok. Then add ½ cup of Lomo Sauce and 2 tablespoons of the slurry. Stir in cilantro and continue cooking until the sauce has the consistency of a thin gravy, 2-3 minutes.
• Assembly: Spoon stir-fry into a serving bowl. Drizzle a few tablespoons (or more!) of Crema de Rocoto on top and garnish with remaining scallions. Serve with optional French fries and white rice on the side.

GRILLED LOMO SALTADO

Steps:

• Have grill pre-greased and preheated to medium-high.
• Place steak in 1 bowl and onions in another. Using a knife, make a paste by combining garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk together garlic paste, rice vinegar, soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of canola oil, cumin, and ground black pepper. Divide marinade between steak and onions. Refrigerate for 1/2 hour.
• Before grilling, allow steak and onions to come to room temperature. Place steak on grill and cook about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Discard marinade. When done, let steak rest before slicing.
• Place onions face down on grill and cook until slightly soft, about 6 minutes per side. When done, cut onions into wedges.
• Sprinkle paprika over potatoes and toss with remaining canola oil. Place on grill and cook until soft inside, about 6 minutes per side. Season with salt when done.
• In a large bowl combine steak and juices, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, cilantro, and reserved marinade. Toss gently and re-season with salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Cut the steak in long pieces 1/4 by 1 1/2 to 2 inches. Season the steak with salt, pepper and garlic, to taste.
• In a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat enough oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 350 degrees F. Add the fries and fry until golden. Remove them to paper towels to drain.
• Add 1/8 cup of vegetable oil to a medium skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot add the rib-eye. After the meat has browned add the onions and cook until they soften. Add the tomato, vinegar and the soy sauce. Pour in the beer and simmer until the vegetables are cooked through. Remove the beef mixture to a serving plate and top with the fries. Garnish with parsley and serve with white rice.

LOMO SALTADO WITH MUSHROOMS AND ONION

GUIDO'S LOMO SALTADO

Steps:

• Season the meat with the pepper, tossing to coat. Set aside. Combine the balsamic, soy sauce, fish sauce, cornstarch and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl. Whisk with a fork to incorporate well, then add the garlic and ginger, and stir to combine.
• Put the wok over high heat, add the canola oil and when it just begins to smoke, add the onions, bell peppers and tomatoes. Saute until the onions begin to soften, about 5 to 6 minutes.
• At this point, drop the prepared French Cut Fries into the oil for a final fry.
• Push a hole in the center of the wok and add the beef. Stir-fry for 1 minute, then deglaze the wok with the beer and add the vinegar-soy mixture. Stir frequently for another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the lime juice and toss. Remove the French fries from the oil and toss them into the stir-fry mixture. Serve on a warm plate with the white rice. Garnish with the parsley and serve immediately. Pass hot pepper sauce at the table.
• Peel the sides of the potatoes, leaving the skin on both ends. Cut them into 3/8-inch slices, then stack the pieces and dice them into 3/8-inch squares. Put the potatoes in a bowl with the water and let them sit submerged for 30 minutes to 24 hours. This will help leach the excess starch from the potatoes and keep them from oxidizing.
• Heat the oil in a heavy stock pot to 275 to 300 degrees F. Use a candy thermometer to assure proper temperature.
• Drain the potatoes and pat them dry of excess water. Add about 2 handfuls of the potatoes to the hot oil. (Chefs Note: There should be at least 1-inch of oil covering the potatoes.) Cook until they are partially cooked and lightly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the potatoes, shake off any excess oil and let them cool on a rack. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
• After all of the potatoes have cooled, heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Add 2 handfuls of the potatoes to the oil, and fry until they are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove them from the pot, shake off the excess oil, and season lightly in a bowl with the salt and pepper. Repeat this method until all the potatoes are fried. Keep warm until ready to use.

VEGETARIAN LOMO SALTADO

Steps:

• Prepare the French fries and rice and keep hot.
• Cut the tofu into strips about 2 inches long and 1/4 inch thick. Cut the mushrooms into biggish pieces. Saute in hot oil the tofu & the mushrooms together for about 3 minutes. Set aside.
• Add more oil to the pot or wok if needed and return it to high heat. Add the onion, peppers and garlic and stir fry until the onion is cooked through, but still a little crunchy, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes, soy sauce, vinegar, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper and stir fry for about 1 minute more. Return the tofu/mushrooms to the pot or wok, along with the French fries and toss everything together to heat through and mingle the flavors. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Place a big scoop of rice on each diner's plate and serve the lomo saltado over the rice.
