Peruvian Beef Stir Fry

New You

Lomo Salatado is a classic Peruvian recipe made with strips of sirloin seasoned with cumin, stir fried with tomatoes, red onion, soy sauce, cilantro and finished with French fries. Many people avoid eating potato, but one medium-size, skin-on potato is just 110 calories, has no fat, sodium or cholesterol, and it provides 45 percent of your daily value of vitamin C and has more potassium than a banana! It’s also rich in fibre, potassium and magnesium. So don’t blame the potato – it’s often the preparation and toppings that add fat and calories.
