Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin
- 1 large red onion
- 2 Roma tomatoes
- 3 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 medium potatoes
- 1 cup white rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cut the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 2-3 inches long. Season with half the salt and pepper, and set aside.
Peel and cut the potatoes into thin strips (similar to French fries). Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the potatoes until golden and crispy. Remove and set on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Cook the white rice: Rinse the rice under cold water, then combine it with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is fully absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
Slice the red onion into thin wedges, and cut the Roma tomatoes into thick slices. Finely chop the garlic and cilantro.
Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the beef strips in batches, searing them for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil and sauté the garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the tomatoes, soy sauce, red wine vinegar, and remaining salt and pepper. Toss everything to combine and let it cook for another 2 minutes.
Return the beef to the skillet and stir everything together. Allow the mixture to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beef is fully cooked and the flavors are well combined. Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top and remove from heat.
Serve the Peruvian beef stir-fry over a bed of fluffy white rice with the crispy fries on the side. Enjoy your awesome Peruvian beef entree!
