Provided by Guy Fieri

Time 29m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 (1-pound) rib-eye, boneless, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1/2 by 2-inch long pieces
1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons minced ginger
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 red onion, cut into 1/2 by 2-inch strips, about 2 cups
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/2 by 2-inch strips, about 1 cup
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/2 by 2-inch strips, about 1 cup
5 Roma tomatoes, sliced into 1-inch wedges
French Cut Fries, recipe follows
4 ounces beer
1 tablespoon key lime juice
Organic white rice, prepared according to package directions, for serving
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
Hot pepper sauce, for serving (recommended: Aji or Peruvian, both can be found online)
4 (4 to 5-inch) russet potatoes
1 gallon water
2 quarts canola oil
1 tablespoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Season the meat with the pepper, tossing to coat. Set aside. Combine the balsamic, soy sauce, fish sauce, cornstarch and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl. Whisk with a fork to incorporate well, then add the garlic and ginger, and stir to combine.
  • Put the wok over high heat, add the canola oil and when it just begins to smoke, add the onions, bell peppers and tomatoes. Saute until the onions begin to soften, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  • At this point, drop the prepared French Cut Fries into the oil for a final fry.
  • Push a hole in the center of the wok and add the beef. Stir-fry for 1 minute, then deglaze the wok with the beer and add the vinegar-soy mixture. Stir frequently for another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the lime juice and toss. Remove the French fries from the oil and toss them into the stir-fry mixture. Serve on a warm plate with the white rice. Garnish with the parsley and serve immediately. Pass hot pepper sauce at the table.
  • Peel the sides of the potatoes, leaving the skin on both ends. Cut them into 3/8-inch slices, then stack the pieces and dice them into 3/8-inch squares. Put the potatoes in a bowl with the water and let them sit submerged for 30 minutes to 24 hours. This will help leach the excess starch from the potatoes and keep them from oxidizing.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy stock pot to 275 to 300 degrees F. Use a candy thermometer to assure proper temperature.
  • Drain the potatoes and pat them dry of excess water. Add about 2 handfuls of the potatoes to the hot oil. (Chefs Note: There should be at least 1-inch of oil covering the potatoes.) Cook until they are partially cooked and lightly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the potatoes, shake off any excess oil and let them cool on a rack. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
  • After all of the potatoes have cooled, heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Add 2 handfuls of the potatoes to the oil, and fry until they are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove them from the pot, shake off the excess oil, and season lightly in a bowl with the salt and pepper. Repeat this method until all the potatoes are fried. Keep warm until ready to use.

LOMO SALTADO (PERUVIAN STEAK STIR-FRY)



Lomo Saltado (Peruvian Steak Stir-Fry) image

I've never been a big stir-fry guy, but when it comes to lomo saltado, I make an exception. First of all, it's Peruvian--and I love to eat anything Peruvian. But, it's also a stir-fry that features not only meat and vegetables, but also French fries. Serve with steamed white rice and garnish with cilantro, if so desired.

Provided by Chef John

Time 1h50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ¼ pounds top sirloin steak
3 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
1 teaspoon white sugar
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 (16 ounce) package frozen crinkle-cut French fries
1 ½ cups sliced red onion
1 medium orange bell pepper, sliced
1 habanero pepper, seeded and minced
½ cup sliced green onion
kosher salt to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
4 medium roma (plum) tomato
¼ cup white vinegar
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Slice beef horizontally into 1/4-inch strips and transfer into a mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and the sugar. Mix well and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour; longer is fine.
  • Preheat an oven to 200 degrees F (90 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with a silicone liner (such as Silpat®).
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add French fries and cook until golden and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to the prepared pan and place in the preheated oven to keep warm.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in the same skillet over high heat until the oil begins to smoke. Sear the beef strips in 2 or 3 smaller batches, until browned but still pink in places, for 1 to 2 minutes per batch. You don't want to cook the meat all the way through, as it will finish cooking with the vegetables later. As each batch of beef is browned, transfer to a plate or bowl, and reserve.
  • Place the skillet back over high heat, and add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Transfer in red onion, bell pepper, habanero, and green onion, along with a large pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the onions and peppers just begin to soften, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add garlic and ginger to the pan; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add tomato wedges and cook, stirring, until they begin to soften and start to release their juices, about 3 minutes. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, white vinegar, and the browned beef into the pan, along with any accumulated juices, and stir to combine.
  • Stir cilantro and crispy, cooked French fries into the pan, tossing everything to combine. Taste for salt and adjust if needed. Serve immediately.

VEGETARIAN LOMO SALTADO



Vegetarian Lomo Saltado image

Love love love this recipe from Peru. It's part Latin flavors part Chinese flavors. If you can't find ajis amarillos chili peppers, try substituting ancho or even just green bell, if you like things mild.

LOMO SALTADO



Lomo Saltado image

Provided by Jon Nordheimer

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 portions

Number Of Ingredients 9

Vegetable oil
4 all-purpose potatoes, peeled, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
2 pounds beef loin, sliced into thin strips
3 yellow peppers, sliced into thin strips
3 red onions, peeled and cut into eighths
4 tomatoes, cut in eighths
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
6 cups hot cooked rice

Steps:

  • In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat 2-1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the potatoes, and sauté until browned and tender, about 15 minutes. Drain on paper towels, and set aside.
  • In a large skillet over high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the beef, and quickly sauté until the beef is seared and browned on all sides. Add peppers, and sauté until softened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, and use a slotted spoon to transfer beef and peppers to a plate.
  • Return the pan to medium-high heat. Add the onions and sauté until the edges are seared and they begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, and stir to combine. Sprinkle the soy sauce and balsamic vinegar over the mixture, and sauté until the tomatoes have softened, about 2 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a cast-iron skillet or griddle for the best results. It will provide even heat and prevent the meat from sticking.
  • Make sure the meat is thinly sliced and tenderized before cooking. This will help it cook quickly and evenly.
  • Use a high-heat oil, such as grapeseed or avocado oil. This will help prevent the meat from sticking and will give it a nice sear.
  • Season the meat liberally with salt and pepper before cooking. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder.
  • Cook the meat in batches so that it does not overcrowd the pan. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from steaming.
  • Cook the meat until it is just cooked through. Overcooking will make it tough and dry.
  • Serve the lomo saltado immediately over rice or quinoa with a side of salsa criolla.
