Peruvian Beef Saltado #Recipe @PegCochran

There are numerous recipes for the Peruvian dish Beef Saltado on the internet.  This one is supposed to be lower calorie than most.  The dish is usually served with French fries although I did baked potatoes instead.

It's an interesting combination of flavors that illustrate the cultural heritage of Peru and the influence of the many Chinese who live there.

Of course I made a few tweaks in the prep.

Ingredients
1 lb. sirloin, thinly sliced
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
1 jalapeno, thinly sliced
1 tomato cut into wedges
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. olive oil (I used more like 1 tablespoon)
1 tsp. cumin
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/3 cup cilantro, chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Heat oil over medium heat.  Season beef with salt, pepper and cumin (I added the cumin to the sauce instead.)






Add beef and cook until browned on both sides.  (Next time I will remove the meat while I cook the veggies so it doesn't overcook.)  

Add garlic, onion and peppers and cook until veggies are soft.  (I would add the meat back in when the veggies are done.)




Stir in vinegar and soy sauce and cook for two minutes.  Add tomatoes and cilantro and cook two more minutes.

A Park Avenue princess discovers the dark side of 1930s New York when a debutante ball turns deadly in this gripping historical mystery for readers of Victoria Thompson, Anne Perry, and Karen Odden.

Manhattan, 1939. Tired of being trapped in the gilded cage of her family’s expectations, Elizabeth Adams has done what no self-respecting socialite would think to do: She’s gotten herself a job. Although Elizabeth’s dream is to one day see her photographs on the front page of the Daily Trumpet, for now she’s working her way up as the newsroom’s gal Friday.

But fetching coffee isn’t exactly her idea of fun, so when veteran reporter Ralph Kaminsky needs a photographer to fill in for a last-minute assignment, Elizabeth jumps at the chance. At the Waldorf Hotel, Elizabeth is tasked with tracking down the season’s “It girl,” Gloria DeWitt, who will be making her society debut. Working her own connections to New York’s upper crust, Elizabeth manages to land an exclusive interview with Gloria.

Then Gloria’s stepmother is shot dead in a Waldorf bathroom, placing Elizabeth at the scene of a headline-worthy scandal: “Murder of a Society Dame.” Now Elizabeth will have to get the scoop on the killer before her good name gets dragged through the gossip columns—or worse. . . .

    1. It was very flavorful. I could see serving it over rice as well.

  2. What about taking the potatoes, cutting them into wedges, and roasting them so they are crispy on the outside, but soft inside?
    Are those yellow peppers as well as red?

    1. Yes, I included a yellow pepper that was languishing in the fridge! Yes, you could do roasted potatoes. I'll eat potatoes any way you prepare them!
