Lomo Saltado is a traditional Peruvian stir-fry consisting of steak, veggies, and french fries! You’re going to love this quick dinner. Big thanks to Prom Peru for sponsoring this post.
Alright, friends, I’m here with something a little different today!
I’m venturing outside of my casserole comfort zone and even stepping out of my (completely Americanized) Mexican food love, to bring you a traditional Peruvian dish. You’re going to flip for this one. Just WAIT until you get a load of this recipe.
Lomo Saltado is basically a steak stir-fry that is served over rice with…wait for it…French fries.
I can’t even.
Now, because I’ve never actually had authentic Peruvian food, I left this recipe to the experts and just made it in my home, photographed it, and am sharing it here. I didn’t make a bunch of tweaks or try to start from scratch, because I really wanted this to be authentic! Most lomo saltado recipes include aji amarillo chili peppers and this one did not. I did add in a few peppers to make up for that. Feel free to do your own thing with this one! It’ll be delicious either way!
So, why did I suddenly decide to share a dish from Peru with you? Glad you asked!
I’ve teamed up with the folks behind Meet Me at Mistura, a sweepstakes with a grand prize of a 9 day culinary trip for two to Peru! You’ll have the opportunity to attend Mistura, the largest food festival in South America. Tell me you’re not interested in THAT trip!
