About


Lomo saltado, is a stir-fry of beef and potatoes over rice. Some Peruvians serve it with potato chunks and one of the easiest forms of potatoes is french fries. It's almost a doubled-up need of carbs of french fries and rice.  However, the french fries accentuate the sabor and the white rice helps soak up the juices. It's so delicious and it's truly Peruvian comfort food at it's best - you will be asking for another helping. Salud!
