• 8 oz frozen french fries
• 2 tbsp olive oil

How to make Peruvian Lomo Saltado-Style Steak Stir-Fry

1. Preheat your oven or air fryer and cook the 8 oz frozen french fries according to package directions until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.
2. While the fries cook, pat the 10 oz steak strips dry. In a medium bowl, toss the steak with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 0.25 teaspoon cumin, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 5 minutes.
3. Prepare the stir-fry sauce by whisking together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, and 1 tablespoon lime juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until smoking. Add the marinated steak in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding) and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until nicely browned but still slightly pink in the center.
5. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the same skillet, reducing heat to medium-high if needed.
6. Add the 0.5 sliced red onion to the hot skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
7. Add the 2 Roma tomatoes (cut into wedges) and 1 tablespoon aji amarillo paste (or cayenne) to the skillet with the onions. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until tomatoes are just beginning to soften.
8. Return the seared steak to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the prepared stir-fry sauce and toss everything together quickly to coat, cooking for just 30 seconds to heat through.
9. Gently fold in the cooked french fries. Toss everything together briefly, ensuring the sauce lightly coats the fries and other ingredients.
10. Divide the Lomo Saltado-style steak stir-fry between two plates. Garnish generously with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
