Lomo
Tenderloin
Lomo comes from the tenderloin of the cow and is a very lean cut of meat. It has a mild, beefy flavor and a tender texture. To prepare lomo, it is best to marinate it for several hours before grilling or roasting. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. Once cooked, lomo can be sliced thinly and served with chimichurri sauce or other condiments.
