Lomo Saltado (Peruvian Steak Stir-Fry)

1. 1

   Slice the beef horizontally into 1/4-inch strips and place in a mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and the sugar. Mix well and refrigerate for at least 1 hour; longer is fine.

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (90 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with a silicone liner (such as a Silpat).

3. 3

   Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the French fries and cook until golden and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to the prepared pan and place in the preheated oven to keep warm.

4. 4

   Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the same skillet over high heat until the oil just begins to smoke. Sear the beef strips in 2 or 3 smaller batches until browned but still pink in spots, 1 to 2 minutes per batch. Do not cook the meat all the way through, as it will finish cooking with the vegetables later. As each batch is browned, transfer to a plate or bowl and reserve.

5. 5

   Return the skillet to high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the red onion, bell pepper, habanero, and green onion, along with a large pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the onions and peppers just start to soften, 3 to 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Add the garlic and ginger to the pan; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add the tomato wedges and cook, stirring, until they start to soften and release their juices, about 3 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, the white vinegar, and the browned beef with any accumulated juices, and stir to combine.

7. 7

   Stir in the cilantro and the crispy cooked French fries, tossing to combine. Taste for salt and adjust if needed. Serve immediately.
