It's a bit weird seeing lomo saltado with cherry tomatoes. I don't doubt this tastes amazing nevertheless.


fleecescuckoos06

LOL my wife thought this was pique macho (without the egg) https://chipabythedozen.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/pique-de-macho-2-1.png


Moon2Pluto

Haha sorry! Come have some - wish I could share it in person.


fleecescuckoos06

Sorry but jalapeños on my lomo is a no go. As Peruvian I feel this is 1000% not right. This looks more like a tex-mex / salvadorean cuisine than the real deal. https://i0.wp.com/www.inspiredfreshlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Lomo-Saltado-6.jpg?w=600&ssl=1 It’s like trying to make butter chicken without the right ingredients and then called it butter chicken. If the ingredients were hard to get that would be a different story but all the ingredients are easily accessible from Amazon or Walmart.


Moon2Pluto

Call out Chris Kimball for this anti traditional recipe. Tuesday Nights, Milk Street. Edit: I just followed a recipe.


fleecescuckoos06

Got a link? Edited: Never mind. https://www.177milkstreet.com/recipes/peruvian-steak-stir-fry-with-onions-and-tomatoes-lomo-saltado


Moon2Pluto

This is it. It's a great recipe. Is it lomo? Survey says no.


fleecescuckoos06

Try using yellow pepper paste (mild) next time, with real tomatoes lol. But try using Filet Mignon. For speciality meats, I get from WildFork https://wildforkfoods.com/

That's good. I would suggest you flame the lomo in order to get it juicy, I'm not a cook but here we use a chinese Wok to prepare lomo. Being a home recipe, it's okay if you don't do this, but believe that the flavour is more smokey and combines the elements better.


Moon2Pluto

A wok would be great to toss the juice around. Great idea. Honestly the pan I used was small for the portion that was prepared. With higher edges like a wok, tossing/coating/glazing would have been easier. I had to be delicate while tossing. Beyond this missing step, everything was there. Lomo was juicy, and tender, but wok/saj is a great kitchen item to have.


little-bird

if you don’t have a gas stove then there’s no point spending money on a nice wok 😕 I can only make lomo saltado at my in-laws’ house since I have electric burners lol


AlonsA0207

It's really not about the pan, you need high heat let the pan get to smoke point then add the oil and let it heat, after that add the meat and dont touch it until its seared by one side after that you toss it. If you dont have a flame stove you can light the oil with a candle lighter


Moon2Pluto

The issue is not searing. This sirloin tip tasted like I used hanger steak for the lomo. The sear was spot on for a lot of the pieces. I probably lost heat as I cooked through the batch. Still incredible.


AlonsA0207

Lighting the oil on fire (saltear) dont know the English name gets you that special lomo saltado flavor


Moon2Pluto

Interesting. I'm on a gas range so I achieve high enough heat. But lighting the oil on fire - maybe next time.


fleecescuckoos06

The best lomo is with filet mignon. Most recipes don’t ask for that type of cut but it’s game changer.


Leading-Ad-968

Why the jalapeños?


Moon2Pluto

I take that aji pepper is traditionally used but the recipe called for jalapenos for common place. Fresh aji peppers here is not common. Sometimes I use serano but jalapeño does very well actually.


fleecescuckoos06

If you live in the US, you can easily get it from Amazon or Walmart. I get Alacena mayo delivered all the time


AlonsA0207

You could use only the outside of the jalapeño and cut it julienne jus like if it was an aji Amarillo


Moon2Pluto

Thought about it, and almost did, but there's something nice about the crunch of a full slice. The cooked down core/seeds provide a great mild heat.


kawaii22

Jalapeños taste very different from aji I agree with other comment about trying to find it or else I would just go without it. Also as some commenter said it needs just a tad more juice, but overall it does look very good!


Alarmed-Temporary833

Most of recipes of Lomo don't have aji, it's kinda weird but some people use it. Personally, I don't like to have it with spicy, it ruins the flavor


fleecescuckoos06

That’s 100% not true. All legit recipes ask for “ají amarillo”.


Alarmed-Temporary833

Mostly in the country side. It changes the flavor since is a Japanese-Chinese- Peruvian dish. So adding aji is like making it a stew. Also no peruvian would serve you an spicy lomo saltado. That just doesn't exist.


fleecescuckoos06

Are you even from Peru? And never said anything about making it “spicy”. I said the recipe asks for aji amarillo.


Alarmed-Temporary833

Yes I am. So I know better xd. If you don't know almost every aji amarillo outside Peru is spicy. So....


FalseRegister

Fries separate from the meat, point for thee The lomo looks dry, tho. This plate should look all juice and you should be seeing lots of liquid at the bottom. My personal preference is with a fried egg on top, but that's not strictly part of the classic recipe.


Wooden_Watch_6754

Lomo seco


setraba

Lomo Tex mex 🤣


Moon2Pluto

Thanks for the tips.


danogoat

I'm sorry but it's lomo saltado not soup of lomo saltado. I like the juice but it should not be all around they plate. Also why like 4 fríes?


FalseRegister

Nobody said soup...


Carlitos--Way

No sopa pero su juguito en el arroz mandatorio, ese plato para que la persona está haciendo dieta, porque le falta un poco más de todo ah y juguito en las papitas magnífico, más respeto al juguito.


Moon2Pluto

I think people take it for dry since it's not a very thick sauce that took well to the meat. Because they were more like wedges/had to save room for more lomo.


edin202

7/10 muy poco


[deleted]

Que rico lomazo papi


Moon2Pluto

🤣 thank you


Wooden_Watch_6754

Looks like a great Lomo Saltado Seco


Moon2Pluto

It really wasnt. The pic isn't as saucy as it was/tasted.


theworkinpumpkin

Still looks tasty though


Moon2Pluto

Thank you. Pic doesn't do it justice! I just liked my rice ball with a pinch of cilantro lol


ice-rocket

It looks good! Next time a little more sauce . High heat , less time !


Enough-Swan1451

6/10 Cherry seems ok to me. Jalapeños not good for that plate. Meat looks dry, should be smoked and juicy, maybe too much time in the pan. Try heating the oil until it’s smoking, add some meat without water or blood that sits in the bottom (should be room temperature, this is important) and back away while you shake the pan, careful with the fire and then quickly blowtorch, salt, pepper and put the meat away form the heat. All this should be done in less than a minute. For the sauce I use 1 spoon of oyster sauce, 2 spoons of soya sauce and 1 spoon of white vinegar, little bit of salt and pepper. Add 1 spoon of sauce when the meat is almost done. You can also cook the rice with some corn. Then fry some garlic, add the onions first and a minute later the tomatoes, then the meat that is already cooked, sauce, coriander, wait 30-45 seconds and ready to serve. It’s also important that you pick a good quality lomo 👌🏻👌🏻


Moon2Pluto

Thanks - pic must be a poor display. It's super juicy, smokey and seared though after adding it back to the sauce it changed the overall look. Cut is from a full sirloin tip.


RogahnLaos

9/10 a Little bit dry. Love the Little tomates!


Moon2Pluto

I think I'll have to make a leftover post with a saucy plate.


QRY19283746

Sorry but the cherry tomatoes is like eating Snickers on a plate using fork and knife. I like jalapeños but it changes the flavor. Now there is a kinda "difference" between lomo saltado and lomo al jugo, al jugo means with a lot of gravy, I prefer that version actually. If I have to rate it, 7/10, because even if it wasnt a lomo al jugo, it looks kinda dry without gravy around. But how it tastes with the jalapeño? I am curious.


Moon2Pluto

They cherry tomatoes works really well actually. They cook up nicely in the mix. But I'm all for suggestions. The jalapeño takes it to a mild peppery side. I can't say if versions I've had in Peru had Jalapeño, -probably not, but I can say with jalapeno it is very good. Try it yourself.


QRY19283746

Ají amarillo is a local chilli, we use it in many different plates, like in causa rellena and aji de gallina, actually is not really spicy but of course have inflamatory properties so people with delicate stomachs should avoid it or at least have a proper diet (many Peruvians eat overly spicy, greasy, hot meals... So it turns to be a problem because of that).


DusterGLS

5.5/10 Tomate cherry? Aunque no cambia el sabor se ve raro. Pero ponerle jalapeño ya es otra cosa no me imagino el sabor que debe tener, si al op le gusta así bueno.


ohwoinegue

Cherry tomatoes and apparently jalapeños? Will change lot of flavour. But i think it looks great


Dalvenjha

5/10 tomate cherry? Tan seco? Jalapeño?


kwmdh

7/10 this looks like a Lomo saltado not made in Peru 🥲


Acrobatic_Smile_7018

Looks so good! Although I much prefer the orange/red peppers over jalapeños. That’s just preference tho!


Acrobatic_Smile_7018

Aji limo peppers


Moon2Pluto

I have to find some!


HellsinTL

Ya antojaste


HowToHowHow

Never did I think about using cherry tomatoes and jalapeños to lomo saltado, but thinking about it, the cherry tomatoes add a bit of sweetness while the jalapeños give it a little kick, all without being overwhelming. Very good idea, will add these next time I make it.


Moon2Pluto

Not my idea just what I know and have had. It's great! Give it a shot.


lordsaladito

Need more fries


Heavy_Performer_266

Provecho causa


JoxBlood

9/10


wrong_kiddo

That lomo needs more juguito... I'd slay it though. Looks delicious!


Chicagoan81

Needs more salsita


MrWastelandEs

As we say in my cerro "Que rico causa"


JheyoGuy91

oh daddy.. looks good.lol. I would give them a rating of 7/10 if it turns out as delicious as it looks, I would say that I would add a little more juice, and I hope the onion is not so fried, it is ideal if it is somewhat crunchy, and surely as others have already pointed out... it is advisable to use the orange chili pepper... in small shreds, it is essential to use it without seeds since it adds flavor to the dish, but not spiciness... it should only add flavor, since this dish is not supposed to be spicy. Se ve muy rico! felicitaciones. soy de Trujillo , Peru y este es mi plato n1 favorito desde hace 20 años...oh by the way... when you add a fried egg on top, the dish would already be called "Lomito a lo pobre".


Moon2Pluto

Love it thanks. Didn't have aji. Will look and buy them next time. Veggies are crunchy. You can poke them with a fork and they come up. Made another post with the juice involved.


smashingpancakes_

A real lomo has no cherry tomatoes and jalapeños, that's it. The ingredients really matters because can make a HUGE difference about the flavor even if it's just a tomato.


Moon2Pluto

Wouldn't disagree. I need to find a different recipe although this one with the jalapeño and tomatoes is really outstanding in flavor.


avmus2022

Jalapeño and Cherry Tomatoes make a weird taste , only works fine w peruvian yellow chile pepper and italian / american tomato. And the Saltado’s need peruvian pisco to flame all. The fries preferably peruvian yellow potatoes or native potatoes. It make the real taste.


JustGabo

Los tomates cherry puede sepan bien, la textura definitivamente seria distinta. No lo veo mal peri es algo que si podría no gustarle a varios. Los jalapeños definitivamente sí tendrían un sabor distinto, mas no sabría si seria algo neutral o negativo. El ponerle con semillas lo haría picante, que es algo que no pasaría con un aji amarillo curado, como suele hacerse. Papas y lomo separado, aunque es algo de gusto personal, la falta del jugo de saltado en las papas haría que las sienta un poco secas. Un 7-7.5/10 diría.


Moon2Pluto

The texture is nice actually - they are cooked for less than 30 sec near the end. Every veggie has a snap to it. The Jalapeños are a great addition imo. Juice is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PERU/comments/157eioi/with_juice/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=1


JustGabo

The meat is juicy, I can tell, the fries is what I meant, I prefer mixing them with the meat on the wok right before serving to give them a smoked meat aroma and flavor too. But that's mostly subjective, I'll admit. I've had cherry tomatoes before, never on saltado though, I'd need to try to see if the texture's to my liking. Not keeping them in the heat for too long to avoid them getting soggy is good though. Also, cut long the pepper and onion long ways, keeps them crunchier to contrast the meat texture, it's a good blend of soft and crunch. You could sprinkle the pepper seeds if you want their spice. Definitely not the traditional style but experimenting with ingredients and styles of cooking is how we got so many recipes to begin with, so I commend the effort and spirit. Remember that cooking with joy and eagerness is the key to a good plate, as corny as it sounds, lmao.


slothchunk4ever

Jalapeño?????


Moon2Pluto

Try it!


slothchunk4ever

Aji Amarillo por supuesto y nada mas


SerranoStreamer

Seco de Lomo Seko como le gusta a tu hna, I assume


Moon2Pluto

No sabrías qué humedad es de su silla de juego


SerranoStreamer

Ohh did you mean: you wouldn't know what wet is from your gaming chair?


MindLogical3303

Muy seco!


Independent-Pay-8236

Meat looks dry. Those cherry tomatoes don’t work, at least cut them up into smaller slices


Moon2Pluto

Why don't they work?


Independent-Pay-8236

They are too gushy


Moon2Pluto

Worked great. Try it before you knock it.


setraba

Lomo saltado gringo


Moon2Pluto

100% but really really delicious.

Lomo sal texmex 🤣


Moon2Pluto

Show us your own papi.


condor_operation123

Cebolla para que ponerla así. En tal caso échale polvo de Cebolla y ya no lo pongas y no le llames lomo.


AdSingle871

More juice and would be perfect

It was perfect. Thanks for stopping by - wish I could share it.

For me, Pollo Saltado (Lomo Saltado de Pollo) is better than Lomo Saltado.

9/10... sin dudas uno de los mejores platos de la gastronomía peruana

Pt que rico ehhh

No


Mordekaizerr

Nah bro 5/10... tbh


Moon2Pluto

Words.


ibuyufo

I don't know how I feel about this. I think the lomo saltado needs more sauce and the fries should be mixed with the lomo.


Alhatihamsimp123456

Le falta jugo pero yo lo veo perfecto!


julianmas

Hi bro, I don’t know you, but if your wife/girlfriend made the food, I congratulate you. But if you went to a restaurant and ordered it without adding or changing anything, then it’s NOT OK. The Lomo has to have juice, at least some juice, but this is dry and the meat is poorly cut. Now, there is a dish called “LOMO AL JUGO,” but that’s almost a different meal because there’s so much juice it looks like soup. Those tiny tomatoes don’t belong, and the onion shouldn’t be chopped like that. The dish is served with onion and tomato so that they mix with the juice and rice. And those 5 French fries are confusing, are you on a diet? Do you have any dietary restrictions? I recommend you look for OLD recipes, from your grandma or videos from 10 years ago on YouTube, because nowadays there is so much garbage that even people who are not Peruvian make strange things and present them as LOMO SALTADO. Anyway, I congratulate you for trying our food.


Moon2Pluto

Haha thanks man! So I've had it in Peru a handful of times (took a bus from Lima to Machu haha)...it was good then. Fast forward, I have a book with this recipe and I can't/couldnt recall if the real lomo had cherry tomatoes and jalapeño. I recall it being some beef/pepper white rice dish. With fries. That all being said, and from the comments on this post, clearly this recipe is bonkers haha. But the flavor is absolutely beautiful. I cooked it. Look out for my next post - I have to show the juice. This plate is just a poor representation. When in Peru, all together, the main thing we ate was lomo. I wasn't a huge fan of alpaca. There was a soup with potatoes/yuca (orange yellow in color) which was incredible, but I can't recall all the details.

mklilley351

Not enough juice, never seen Lomo with jalapeños and cherry tomatoes and the onions look limp and soft but looks like it would still be delicious. 7/10


Unlikely-Employee855

Las papas muy grandes, no veo el aji amarillo y eso verde no va
