Lomo Saltadoby Kimberley S in Rouxbe Videos Lomo Saltado is a popular Peruvian dish that contains simple but delicious ingredients.
|
Step 1: Preparing Your Mise en Place
|
|
Preheat your oven to 475º degrees Fahrenheit. Peel, rinse and cut the potatoes into small, even strips then place into a bowl of hot tap water for at least 15 minutes. Slice the peppers into 2-inch strips. Slice the onion. Core and cut each tomato into 8 wedges. Thinly slice the beef against the grain into bite-sized pieces. Drain the potatoes and pat dry. Toss the potatoes with about one tablespoon of the oil. Season well with salt and pepper and toss again. Oil a baking tray with 3 or 4 tablespoons of the oil. Lift the potatoes out of the bowl and place onto the baking tray. Arrange them in a single layer, wrap with foil, and place into the oven. Bake for approximately 10 minutes.

Step 2: Making the Rice
|
|
To make the rice, rinse it under cold water until the water runs clear. Place the rice, water, vegetable bouillon and salt into a pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir occasionally, so the rice doesn’t stick together. Once it comes to a boil, stir continuously until almost all of the liquid evaporates. Turn the heat to the lowest setting, cover tightly and set a timer for 15 minutes.

Step 3: Checking the Potatoes
|
Remove the foil from the potatoes. Continue to bake for approximately 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown underneath. Once golden on the underside, flip them over and continue to bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden on both sides. |
Step 4: Cooking and Finishing the Dish
|
|
To cook and finish this dish, everything is about timing. First check the rice. When it's done, turn off the heat and fluff with a fork. Set it aside with the lid slightly ajar. Before you start cooking, measure out the soy sauce, white wine vinegar and sambal oelek. About 10 minutes before the fries are done, preheat a large fry pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the oil, then the beef and season with salt and pepper. If your pan is not large enough, you may have to cook the beef in two batches. Cook the meat briefly; ideally the meat should be medium rare. Transfer it to a plate and reserve. Add a bit more oil, then sauté the onions, letting them brown and soften slightly before adding the peppers. Once the peppers have soften slightly add the tomatoes. Continue to cook until the tomatoes just start to break down. Then add the sambal oelek, soy sauce, white wine vinegar and the reserved beef. Toss to combine, making sure everything is heated through. You may also need to turn the heat down slightly. Meanwhile, remove the fries from the oven and place onto paper towel to drain. Before you add the potatoes make sure everyone is ready to eat. Ideally, the fries should still be crispy when you serve this dish. When you’re ready, add the fries to the beef and fold everything together. Serve immediately with the jasmine rice.

Notes
When making fries, it's best to soak the potatoes prior to cooking. Soaking removes some of the surface sugar from the potato and will give it a delicate, crispy crust. Cold water is often used, however, it's fine to use hot water to speed up the process.

This recipe seems very unique-I will try it soon!
Being half Peruvian I was quite pleased to see one of the most wonderful dishes of my father's homeland gaining in popularity. While the recipe isn't 100% authentic, as it substitutes Sambal Ulek (Oelek) for ají amarillo (Peruvian Yellow Chili) I understand the change as it can be quite difficult to find outside of South America. I haven't tried this recipe yet but I hope those who do enjoy a peak at one of the world's most rich culinary cuisines.
I made this recipe last night for dinner and was very happy with the end result. I did however substitute the Sambal Ulek for thai chile sauce and I did not have green peppers so I only used red peppers. I also added a little fresh garlic to the recipe.
I made the rice in my little rice maker and that worked out perfect. I will definitely make this recipe again!
as a peruvian prepare this recipe, this wonderfull fusion of some chines tecnics, ingredients and peruvians ingredients too.....man is great!!!!! i love peru jeje...i wanna finish my gastronomics studies and go to other country and show them my culture and the wonderfull flavours of my country.........PERU!!!!!!

aikomex!!!!
please more peruvian dishes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I made this for dinner last week. It was easy to put together and fun to make. Although my family thought it was a bit too spicy, I enjoyed the zesty flavor! Thank you for this recipe ... it adds variety to our dinner menu.
I have not yet made the entire recipe but I thought the potatoes looked yummy on their own. I made them and they tasted better than my favourite
"twice cooked" french fries. I have no idea why soaking in hot tap water works, but it does. I didn't have russet potaoes so used yukon gold and used a stoneware baking pan. They really were great.
We're happy you enjoyed the fries!

p.s. I had Sergio one of our camera men translate this for me... thanks Sergio.
Would there be any flavor advantage to using Rouxbe's caramelized onion in this Lomo Saltado recipe?
I have to say in this case the dish is already flavorful enough. Also the texture of caramelized onions would not lend itself as nicely as the sauteed onions do.
That being said, no one is stopping you from trying this out. But I say save your caramelized onions for something else...like inside a panini or with grilled pork or chicken.
I'm not a beef fan, what other meat would you reccommend?
Pork tenderloin would work just as well. Even chicken, or tofu. Really the flavors in this dish are so big you could even make the dish leaving out the meat or tofu, and serve it with a nice piece of white fish.
The "Cooking and finishing the dish" step brings you to the "Mise en Place for the Sauce" step in Lemon Chicken w/ Pine Nuts and olives instead of the Lomo Saltado. I don't know why it does this. I've played the Lomo Saltado recipe before and it worked then.
Just thought you might like to fix this mix-up.
thanks,
Jason
Thanks Jason, not sure why that happened, but thanks to you, it is now fixed. Looking at the recipe right now makes me hungry. I think I might actually make this for dinner tonight, so thanks for the inspiration :-)
Gave it a go, and was pleased with the end result -- tangy with some heat and very hearty. Although, I used faux beef but it was still great with a glass of pinot noir on the back deck.
thanks.
I have watched all the video recipes, except this one.This oneis not in the video collection of Rouxbe. I came to this link with the help of Joe's suggestion here http://rouxbe.com/recipes/1092/comments.
How could this be? I am a real fan of the video recipes so I hope I don't miss any recipe.
It was a setting that we had placed on this particular recipe. It has since been fixed, so it should come up when you search under "mains" or "lomo" or even "beef".
And just for the record I made this the other night for dinner, I had forgotten just how good it was. Both Joe and I thought it was really delicious.
Thanks for keeping us on our toes Naouar!
im peruvian and this dish "lomo saltado" does not have any bell peppers or peanut oil the original peruvian lomo saltado main ingredient is soy sauce...so simple tomatoes,red onions,beef,potato and soy sauce some places add little of white wine. thanks!
what should be the oven heat for the potatoes?
475º degrees Fahrenheit
It's fantastic that you have this unique Peruvian recipe! My suggestions will be to saute the onions separately from the tomato and with a little bit of red wine vinegar in both cases. If you can find red onions they will give much more flavor to your dish! And you MUST try fresh coriander when it is already serve, it will give a fresh flavor and even more color to your dish.
Thanks so much Fiorella, we will give that a try...sounds good.
It's funny, every time someone comments on this recipe it makes me want to eat it :-)
I have looked at this recipe for ages and often make just the potatoes. When the local butcher had fresh whole tenderloins on sale for an incredible $6.99lb the time was perfect to finally make the whole dish:) The video on portioning the meat was extremely helpful. We really loved the combination of ingredients, although we did leave out the green peppers and replaced with more red. And now I have lots of beef in the freezer so am all set to make it again:)
I'm from Miami and I actually had this dish at a local Peruvian restaurant. The difference was they used beef heart instead of tenderloin. Delicious!!!
Made this for dinner last night and I am always surprised how delicious and easy it is to make. Instead of beef tenderloin we used beef flank (cut across the grain) and it was nice and tender.
How long would I soak the potatoes in hot water?
See step 1 of recipe (2nd line)-
"Peel, rinse and cut the potatoes into small, even strips then place into a bowl of hot tap water for at least 15 minutes."
Good luck, this is a delicious recipe!
