Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound sirloin strip steak
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 medium bell pepper (any color)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Sazonador Total (seasoning blend)
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 cube Knorr Beef and Tomato Granulated Bouillon
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Slice the red onion and bell pepper into thin strips. Also, slice the sirloin steak into strips to ensure quick and even cooking.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat and drizzle in the olive oil to warm up, preparing for searing the beef.
- Sear the Steak: Add the sliced sirloin strips to the hot skillet and sear them for 2-3 minutes until they are nicely browned on the outside.
- Season the Meat: Season the beef with parsley, white vinegar, salt, pepper, olive oil, and the Sazonador Total seasoning. Stir well to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Add Vegetables: Incorporate the sliced onions and bell peppers into the skillet and stir-fry the mixture for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened but still crisp.
- Prepare Fries: While the stir-fry is cooking, heat frozen fries in the oven according to the package instructions until crispy and golden.
- Serve: Plate the hot Peruvian Lomo Saltado with the crispy oven fries on the side and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use high heat and quick cooking to keep the steak tender and juicy.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper.
- Sazonador Total is a Peruvian seasoning blend; if unavailable, use a mix of garlic powder, cumin, paprika, and a touch of chili powder.
- Parsley is optional but adds a fresh herbal note.
- Oven-baked fries make for a healthier side than deep frying.
