Treat your ingredients with care...
- Beef — For the best results, choose a tender cut of beef like sirloin and slice it thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
- Potatoes — Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before frying to remove excess starch and achieve crispier fries.
- Onions — Slowly caramelize the onions over low heat to bring out their natural sweetness and enhance the flavor of the dish.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra kick of flavor, add a dash of hot sauce or chili flakes to the marinated beef.
- If you prefer a crispier texture, you can bake the fries in the oven instead of frying them.
- Customize your Chorrillana by adding toppings such as fried eggs, sliced avocado, or melted cheese.
- Serve with a side of fresh salsa or chimichurri sauce for added freshness and tanginess.
- Leftovers can be reheated in a skillet or oven for a delicious next-day meal.
Serving advice
Chorrillana is traditionally served family-style on a large platter, allowing everyone to dig in and enjoy the flavors together. Serve it with a side of fresh salad or crusty bread to complete the meal.
Presentation advice
To make your Chorrillana visually appealing, arrange the golden fries on top of the beef and onions, creating layers of colors and textures. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of green.
