Treat your ingredients with care...
- Beef — For a more tender result, slice the beef against the grain.
- Aji Amarillo Paste — Adjust the amount of aji amarillo paste according to your desired level of spiciness.
- Broccoli — Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 1 minute before stir-frying to maintain their vibrant green color.
- Red Onion — Use a red onion for its mild and slightly sweet flavor.
- Cilantro — If you're not a fan of cilantro, you can substitute it with parsley for a similar fresh herb taste.
Tips & Tricks
- To achieve a smoky flavor, you can cook the beef on a hot grill instead of stir-frying.
- If you can't find aji amarillo paste, you can substitute it with a mixture of yellow bell pepper and a small amount of chili paste.
- Serve Lomo Saltado with a side of white rice and crispy French fries for an authentic Peruvian experience.
- For added richness, you can drizzle a bit of olive oil over the dish before serving.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like tomatoes or green beans to customize the dish to your liking.
