Lomo Saltado Sandwiches

LOMO SALTADO SANDWICHES

(Rosy and JP’s creation)

Makes 4 sandwiches

1 lb of steak (your choice, we use filet or skirt), cut into small strips

1 bell pepper (diced)

½ large onion (thin strips)

1 tomato (diced)

¼ cup balsamic vinegar

¼ cup soy sauce

2 teaspoons hot sauce (we have used Tapatio in the past, now we use Peruvian Aji Paste normally found in Mexican markets)

1/3 pack of frozen French fries

Sandwich buns (we use Kaiser rolls, anything the size of a hamburger bun will work)

Preheat your oven according to French Fries package. As soon as oven is preheated place desired amount of fries onto small baking sheet and place in oven. Follow French fries instructed cook times. Preheat large pan to Medium High heat and throw in already cut steak. Do not cook steak all the way through; when steak is browned slightly around all edges (but not fully cooked) remove from pan. While the steak is cooking, mix balsamic, soy sauce and hot sauce into small bowl. After you have removed the steak, throw in onion and bell pepper and cook until onions start to become translucent (about 5-10 minutes). Once those vegetables have been cooked, return the steak back into the pan and add sauce mixture. Finish cooking the steak in the sauce, then reduce heat and simmer. When fries are done, add to steak pan with diced tomatoes. Stir in completely and reduce heat to low.

Heat additional pan cut buns in half, butter and brown bread on pan like you would camping toast.

Dress buns with desired condiments, we typically use mayo, mustard, and light coating of aji paste.  Sauce the bottom bun half, and put a generous helping of steak and vegetable mixture on top.  Top with a cheese such as Gorgonzola if desired.  Enjoy!
