Ingredients

1 lb sirloin steak cut in thin slices
2 garlic cloves, minced
Salt*
Pepper to taste
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small red onion cut in thick slices
2 plum tomatoes cut in thick slices
1 seeded and ribbed aji amarillo chili pepper cut in thin slices
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/3 cup beef stock
1/2 -cup fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
2 cups French fries
Fluffy white rice, as a side dish

Directions

1

Season the beef with garlic, salt and pepper.
2

Put a wok or a pan over very high heat. Stir in oil and cook the meat, a few slices at a time (so they do not steam and the meat browns). Cook each batch 2 minutes.
3

Stir in the onion, tomato, chili pepper, and stir for about 2 to 3 minutes. The tomatoes and onions should be crunchy, not mushy. Stir in soy sauce and vinegar on sides of wok or pan. Mix everything. Add beef broth and cook 1-1/2 minutes. Taste for seasoning.
4

Turn off the heat, add chopped cilantro and serve at once with French fries and white rice.
