Lomo Saltado

Lomo Saltado served on a plate with french fries.

We've been making and loving this Lomo Saltado recipe for years! It has tender beef cooked in a stir-fry with fresh veggies and a delicious sauce, served with rice and french fries.

A plate of Peruvian Lomo Saltado served over white rice with a side of french fries.

If you love an easy stir-fry, Lomo Saltado will be your new favorite.

My husband fell in love Lomo Saltado when living in Argentina (many Peruvians live there, and Peruvian food was his absolute favorite). What's not to love about a stir-fry of steak and veggies, with French fries? And a stir-fry made in 20 minutes, to boot? This is SO EASY and always devoured. If you want authentic lomo saltado, make the french fries from scratch. But if you're in a hurry, throw some store-bought frozen fries in the air-fryer and call it good.

And if you love cuisine from Central and South America, try our Arroz Chaufa, Pupusas, Gallo Pinto, or Argentine Empanadas.

How to make Lomo Saltado:

Cook Beef: Season beef slices with salt, pepper, garlic, cumin, oregano, and oil and marinate for 10-15 minutes (or several hours). Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Cook beef in batches to avoid overcrowding. Stir-fry briefly, just 2-3 minutes total, flipping once. They should be browned but still juicy. Remove from pan and set aside.

Add onion and bell pepper and cook 2-3 minutes, then add tomatoes. Return beef to the pan and add soy sauce, red wine vinegar, oyster sauce, and beef broth. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add cilantro then remove from heat.

Serve the best lomo saltado recipe over hot cooked white rice, with fries on the side.

Equipment

Ingredients

Beef:

Stir-fry:

For Serving:

  • 2 lbs French fries* , or yellow potatoes, cut into fries and fried (900 g)
  • 2 ½ cups hot cooked white rice (500 g)

Instructions

  • Cook french fries according to package instructions (or make homemade fries).
  • Season Beef: Season beef slices with salt, pepper, garlic, cumin, oregano, and oil and marinate for 10-15 minutes (or several hours ahead) while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
    1.5 lbs beef*, salt and pepper, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 4 cloves garlic
  • Cook Beef: Heat 1 or 2 Tablespoons of olive oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the beef in batches (to avoid overcrowding) and stir-fry briefly, just 2-3 minutes, flipping once, until browned but still juicy inside. Remove from pan and set aside.
    1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • Cook Vegetables: Add another 1 or 2 tablespoons oil to the pan. Add onion and bell pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes, tossing frequently. Add tomatoes and cook for one more minute.
    2 ½ cups chopped red onion, 1 large yellow bell pepper*, 2-3 Roma tomatoes
  • Combine: Return the beef to the pan and add soy sauce, red wine vinegar, oyster sauce, and beef broth. Add crushed red pepper to your liking. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add cilantro and remove from heat.
    ⅔ cup fresh cilantro, ½ cup low sodium soy sauce, ¼ cup red wine vinegar, ¼ cup oyster sauce, ½ cup low-sodium beef broth
  • Serve over hot cooked white rice, with fries on the side.
    2 lbs French fries*, 2 ½ cups hot cooked white rice

Notes

Yield: About 7 ½ cups stir-fry, 6 ¼ cups fries, 2 ½ cups rice.
Serving Size: 1 ½ cups stir-fry, 1 ¼ cups fries, ½ cup rice. 
Beef: Choose a tender, quick-cooking cut that can handle high heat without becoming tough. Good choices are tenderloin, sirloin, flank steak, or boneless ribeye. The higher quality the better since beef is the star of the show!
Potato/Fries: You can heat frozen (store-bought) french fries, or make your own.
Bell Pepper: Yellow chili pepper (ají Amarillo) is authentic, but hard to find where I am so I use bell pepper and add crushed red chili pepper for heat.
Make Ahead Instructions: I love to prep this meal in the morning to make dinner effortless! Place the meat and the marinade in an airtight bag or container then place in the refrigerator. The vegetables can be chopped and the sauce made a few hours ahead of time as well.
