Ingredients
1 lb Beef Sirloin
2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
1 Large Onion
2 medium Ripe Tomatoes
1 Yellow Pepper (optional)
3 Garlic Cloves
2 tbsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
1 tbsp Aji Amarillo Paste
Cilantro, to taste
Instructions
Slice beef against grain into 2-inch strips
Heat vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet until shimmering to simulate wok heat
Add beef in up to 2 layers and sear 3-4 minutes per side
Remove beef and toss onions with garlic until translucent
Deglaze pan with soy sauce and red wine vinegar
Return beef to pan, add crushed tomatoes and aji amarillo paste
Simmer 5-7 minutes until sauce thickens
Add sliced fries and yellow pepper (if using) to finish
Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving over steamed rice
Notes
Use canola or another neutral oil for optimal results
Increase beef to 1.5 lbs for a family-style portion
Optional napoleón-style fries: layer sliced fries for extra texture
Adjust aji amarillo paste to taste for milder heat
