About this dish

Lomo saltado is an iconic dish of Peruvian cuisine, reflecting the Chinese-Peruvian cultural blend. It consists of tender stir-fried beef, usually cut into thin strips, quickly cooked with onions, tomatoes, chili peppers, and other condiments. Everything is seasoned with soy sauce, vinegar, and sometimes pisco, giving the dish a unique depth of flavor. But what truly sets lomo saltado apart is the fresh fries added just before serving, creating a harmonious blend of tenderness and crunch. Traditionally, lomo saltado is served with white rice, making it a complete and richly flavored meal. This fusion of Asian cooking techniques and Peruvian ingredients makes lomo saltado a staple of Peruvian gastronomy.
