Directions
Lomo Saltado Peruvian Beef and Potato Stir Fry, People are often surprised to learn that Peruvian cuisine has a strong Chinese influence. A large Chinese immigrant community in Lima has given rise to a unique fusion of Incan, European and Asian cuisine called chifa cooking. Lomo saltado, a stir fry of beef and French fries over rice, is the ultimate example. I did not include the rice or French fry cooking time. Enjoy!, After heating everything in the sauce I removed everything and boiled the sauce down to thicken it. It concentrated the delicious flavors and made the sauce cling to the meat and veggies a little better., Made lomo saltado from a cookbook and was going to post it but this recipe is almost exactly the same my recipe used a bit more vinegar than this one. It turned out delicious!
