Instructions
For the Vegan Steak
-
We decided to make the Vegan Steak by the Happy Pear because it's so tasty, simple and the flavours actually go perfectly with this Peruvian classic.
Rice
-
Cook your choice of rice according to the packet (traditionally brown rice is used, but we only had white to hand!)
Fries
-
Chop your potatoes into thin sliced fries and place in a medium to large baking dish.
-
Place in a pre-heated oven on Gas Mark 7 (425 degrees F / 220 degrees C) and cook for 30 minutes (or until they look done!).
Lomo Saltado
-
Start by slicing up your steak pieces into thick slices.
-
Whilst the fries cook, mix soy sauce, vinegar, veg stock and cumin in a bowl.
-
Add oil to a large frying pan and on very high heat and stir in the onion and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Add the tomatoes and cook for 1 minute and stir in the soy sauce mixture from earlier and cook on a simmer for around 10 minutes.
-
Add salt and pepper to taste (around 1/2 tsp of each) and mix well.
-
One your fries are cooked, throw into the mixture and coat with the sauce where possible.
-
Garnish with coriander, parsley, aji chilli sauce and serve with your rice. Enjoy!
