Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb sirloin steak cut in thin slices
- Salt and pepper for the meat
- Pepper
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 small red onion cut in thick slices
- 3 plum tomatoes cut in thick slices
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- ⅓ cup beef stock
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- salt and pepper for the cooked meal, before cilantro and fries
Toppings:
- ½ cup fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
- 2 green onions sliced, tip to tail [minus the root]
- 2 cups french fries, freshly fried
Aji Sauce
- ½ head Iceberg Lettuce, washed, torn and dried
- 1 whole jalapeno, stem cut off [for less spice, deseed
- and devein]
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ lemon, juiced
- ½ head of cilantro leaves
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- To make french fries, peel and cut russet potatoes.
- Soak them in water for as long as you can. I soaked mine for a couple of hours.
- This takes the starch out and allows them to be crispier. Drain, dry and fry.
- Season the beef with salt and pepper.
- Add soy sauce, vinegar, beef stock and cumin in a bowl together.
- Put a pan over very high heat.
- Add oil and on very high heat cook half the meat, brown on one side, flip over and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Remove meat and repeat with second half.
- Stir in the onion and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and cook for just a minute. The tomatoes should hold their shape.
- Stir in soy sauce mixture.
- Add salt and pepper to taste
- Turn off the heat, toss with french fries
- Add chopped cilantro, green onion and serve with brown rice and aji sauce
To make aji sauce, add the iceberg lettuce, jalapeno, mayonnaise, lemon juice, ½ head of cilantro and ¼
teaspoon salt to the food processor and combine until completely smooth. Let sit for a few hours in the
fridge if you can. The sauce will begin to separate after a few days, so don't make too much at once.
