Lomo Saltado- Peruvian Beef Stir Fry with Soy Sauce and French Fries

Lomo Saltado is a Beef Stir Fry with Soy Sauce and French Fries that is a Peruvian fusion dish. The colorful entrée is easier to cook than it looks. Start by making the French fries, either pan fried or baked. Then stir fry the beef and the peppers in the sauces and seasonings. It doesn’t take long to cook and can transform from a family weeknight meal to a party dish any time. Serve with fluffy boiled white rice. My version was inspired by a recipe from the site QueRicaVida.com. Serves 2 to 4.
