this wasn't in the plan |but life is still pretty good

Every weekend, I post a tried and true recipe (for my family at least) that has ten or less ingredients. Follow this link for more under 10 recipes

The Tall One spent two year in Peru serving a mission for our church. Lomo Saltado is a staple there, it's super easy and super inexpensive. For true authenticity, purchase the cheapest meat you can find, don't use very much of it and pile so much rice on your plate that you'll never want to see another grain again.

Lomo Saltado

1 lb beef (in Spanish, lomo means loin, but really any cut of beef will do)
1 red onion, sliced
1-2 tomatoes, quartered
rice, cooked
french fries*
2 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
salt, pepper, garlic powder** and cumin to taste

Brown meat in oil and then add vinegar and spices. Add onion and tomato. Cover and cook slowly until the meat is tender. Add french fries and stir a few times until they are heated through and to allow flavors to mix a bit. Serve over rice.

*We usually cut up a potato and fry our own fries in a deep fryer. You could also bake them in the oven or use frozen ones. You'll want them to be cooked thoroughly before adding them in.
**Use fresh garlic if you have it on hand.
