Arepa with Peruvian Lomo Saltado — South American Fusion at Its Best

Lomo saltado — Peru's iconic soy-sauced stir-fry of beef, tomatoes, and onions — meets a warm handmade Colombian arepa. Three cultures on one extraordinary plate: Colombian, Peruvian, and Chinese.

Ingredients

• 2 Zavor & Co gluten-free arepas

• ½ lb sirloin steak, sliced thin

• 1 red onion, sliced

• 2 tomatoes, cut into wedges

• 2 tbsp gluten-free tamari sauce

• 1 tbsp red wine vinegar

• 1 tsp cumin

• Fresh cilantro and aji amarillo paste (optional)

How to Make It

1. Cook beef in a very hot skillet or wok until seared, about 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.

2. In the same pan, stir-fry onion and tomatoes for 2 minutes.

3. Return beef. Add soy sauce, vinegar, and cumin. Toss quickly over high heat.

4. Pile onto a warm arepa.

5. Top with fresh cilantro and a touch of aji amarillo if available.

A Taste of Peru

Lomo saltado is Peru's iconic stir-fry — itself a result of Chinese-Peruvian culinary fusion called Chifa. On a Colombian arepa, it becomes a remarkable three-culture meeting: Colombian, Peruvian, and Chinese, all on one plate.
