🛒 Ingredients

✓ 250g halal beef sirloin (grass-fed if possible), cut into 1-inch cubes
✓ 180g medium potatoes, cut into thin matchsticks
✓ 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
✓ 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
✓ 2 cloves garlic, minced
✓ 1 tbsp avocado oil
✓ Sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste
✓ 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prep & Marinate Beef: Pat beef cubes dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Toss with 1 tsp soy sauce and set aside for 10 minutes while you prep other ingredients.

2. Make Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, red wine vinegar, lime juice, aji amarillo paste, honey, and chili flakes. Set aside.

3. Bake Potato Matchsticks: Toss potato matchsticks with cooking spray, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Spread in single layer. Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 18–20 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and crispy. Transfer to a plate; keep warm.

4. Sear Beef on High Heat: Heat avocado oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until smoking. Working in two batches, sear beef cubes 90 seconds per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a clean plate.

5. Stir-Fry Vegetables: In the same wok, add garlic and cook 20 seconds until fragrant. Add red onion and bell pepper; toss constantly for 3–4 minutes until slightly charred and tender-crisp.

6. Combine & Glaze: Return beef to wok with vegetables. Pour sauce over and toss quickly for 60 seconds until everything is coated and the sauce begins to caramelize on high heat.

7. Plate & Serve Immediately: Divide lomo saltado between two plates. Top with crispy baked potato matchsticks. Serve at once while steam rises and flavors are at peak intensity.
