Peruvian Lomo Saltado is a vibrant dish that blends Asian and Latin flavors, showcasing Peru's rich culinary heritage. It's a stir-fry made with tender strips of beef, onions, tomatoes, and Aji Amarillo chili. All the ingredients are cooked in a savory sauce of soy and vinegar. The dish is traditionally served with crispy French fries and fluffy white rice.
