The whole family enjoyed this recipe. I baked (not fried) the french fries and they were perfect with the steak. I also eliminated the jalapenos for the kids sake. It was still very good. We will do this again!
Peruvian Steak and Potato Stir-Fry
From Food & Wine May 2011: Steak and french fries are a classic combination. For their classic dish lomo saltado, Peruvians toss the two together. For a healthier option, bake (not fry) the french fries.
