Peruvian Skirt Steak

2/16/21

Peruvian skirt steak is a relatively inexpensive cut of meat with a lot of flavors. Super easy and great for weeknight dinner as it cooks quickly. Don’t forget to end your meal with Habanero Chocolate Bundt Cake or Mango pudding for dessert.

Lomo saltado. Not only is it fun to say, it’s also delicious on your tongue.

Background story – I didn’t know the original name of this dish until recently, but I’ve been having a bit of a love affair with this dish. Peruvian skirt steak, or what people know as Lomo saltado, is one of my go-to recipes when I run out of time and budget but still want a fancy meal at home.

What is Lomo Saltado?

It is a popular, traditional Peruvian stir-fry dish. You might have heard it as Peruvian beef saltado or Peruvian beef stir-fry. Basically, it is a quick and easy stir-fry that literally translated means “jumped loin” with a combination of thinly sliced steak, onions, tomatoes, and French fries with a side of rice.

There are lots of reasons why I really enjoy this dish:

  • Skirt steak is cheaper than flank but has a beautiful marbling
  • Easy prep and clean up
  • Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner
  • Pairs great with rice, salad, or fries
  • Comforting!

The ingredients for Peruvian skirt steak

  • Beef. There are several different beef cuts you can use for this recipe.
  • Garlic, onion. You can use red onion or yellow onion.
  • Tomato. Use fresh tomato for a better result.
  • Cumin, salt, pepper. Cumin gives an aromatic flavor to this skirt steak.
  • Red wine vinegar, low sodium soy sauce. The vinegar will balance the savory and umami flavor of this dish.
  • Cilantro, lime. For garnish.

How do I serve Peruvian skirt steak?

You can serve this over a bed of salad, with a scoop of rice (don’t forget fried plantains), or fries. And if you still have leftovers, you can turn this into a Peruvian steak sandwich, tacos, or burrito rice bowl. Yum!

Do I need to marinate the steak?

This Peruvian skirt steak cooks very quickly, so you only need to marinate your steak for 5-7 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. And that’s one of the reasons why I like this so much.

What kind of beef cuts can I use?

I’m using skirt steak in this Peruvian skirt steak recipe; however, you can use filet mignon or flank steak. Just be sure to thinly slice the meat so it cooks evenly.

    My husband is Colombian, so this balance of flavours should appeal to his memories of travelling in the region and Peru! Thanks for sharing this
