lomo saltado

LOMO SALTADO

A Peruvian take on stir-fry.

TIP: If you don't feel like making french fries (who does?), fries from the grocery store or a restaurant are a perfectly acceptable substitution.

1 lb. beef tenderloin
1 hot pepper
1 tsp. cumin
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 tbsp. vinegar
2 lbs. potatoes
2 lg. red onions
6 Italian tomatoes or 2 large, firm regular tomatoes, cut into fourths

Cut meat into small strips and marinate in cumin, garlic and vinegar for 30 minutes or more. Salt and pepper to taste.

Cut potatoes as for French Fries. Fry the potatoes and keep warm.

Stir-fry the beef in 3 tablespoons oil until tender (add hot pepper to taste).

Add onion and cook to crisp, NOT soft and mushy! Add tomatoes and cook just until tender, NOT mushy! Add the French-fried potatoes and toss. Serve with cooked rice.
