LOMO SALTADO ( VEGAN )
Lomo Saltado is a Peruvian dish with Chinese influences. This dish is normally prepared with beef tenderloin, potatoes, and vegetables and served with rice - but this version ditches the beef!! The recipe calls for wheat gluten strips but you could also use SEITAN, TOFU, or PORTABELLA MUSHROOMS. Look for jarred aji yellow paste or aji amarillo paste in a Latin food market. If you can't find the paste, you can use frozen aji amarillo peppers (South American hot yellow chile pepper) or equivilant pepper. Thaw and dice one pepper, and saute it in olive oil until it's soft. This recipe is from Vegan International.

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.

VEGETARIAN HUEVO SALTADO
My wifey is Peruvian and a favorite dish is called lomo saltado, which tastes better than the ingredients are strange -- beef and onions over French fries. This vegetarian recipe is perfect if you do not know what to do with those huge zucchinis and all of those tomatoes that you've grown. Free-range eggs from chickens would be a bonus. This recipe has a number of steps, but is totally worth it.

VEGETARIAN LOMO SALTADO
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 (PERUVIAN STEAK STIR-FRY)
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.

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.

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients beforehand: Slicing and dicing your veggies and tofu ahead of time will save you time and hassle while cooking.
- Use a large skillet or wok: This will ensure that you have enough space to cook all of the ingredients without overcrowding the pan.
- Cook the tofu first: This will give it time to brown and absorb the flavors of the marinade.
- Add the vegetables in stages: Start with the harder vegetables, such as potatoes and carrots, and then add the softer vegetables, such as tomatoes and bell peppers.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: You want them to retain their crisp texture.
- Use a flavorful marinade: This will help to infuse the tofu and vegetables with delicious flavor.
- Serve immediately: Lomo saltado is best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.

Lomo saltado is a delicious and versatile dish that can be easily adapted to your own taste preferences. Whether you're a vegan or vegetarian, or simply looking for a healthier alternative to traditional lomo saltado, this recipe is a great option.
