About Lomo Saltado

Lomo Saltado is a popular Peruvian stir-fry of strips of beef with onions, tomatoes and ají amarillo chili, cooked quickly in a hot wok with soy sauce and vinegar.

It is a classic example of chifa, the blend of Chinese and Peruvian cooking that developed after Chinese immigrants arrived in Peru in the 19th century.

Lomo Saltado is unusual because it is served with both French fries, which are tossed into the stir-fry, and white rice. It is finished with fresh cilantro.
