- 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, scrubbed
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon aji amarillo chile paste
- 2 large ripe tomatoes, cored and cut into wedges
- 1/2 cup pickled jalapenos, drained
- Chopped cilantro, for garnish
- In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, ginger, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, cumin, coriander, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Add the flank steak and stir to coat.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450.
- Cut the potatoes lengthwise into 1/3-inch-thick-by-1/3-inch-wide sticks.
- In a large bowl, toss with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Spread the sticks in one layer on a large baking sheet.
- Roast for 20 minutes, then turn the potatoes and spread them out again in one layer.
- Bake, turning them once or twice more, until the potato sticks are crisp and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and set aside.
- In a measuring cup, stir together the soy sauce, vinegar, oyster sauce and chile paste.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a wok over moderately high heat.
- Add the marinated flank steak and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and almost cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes, pickled jalapenos and soy sauce mixture and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the meat is cooked through and the tomatoes are beginning to collapse.
- To serve, divide the roasted potatoes among four plates or shallow bowls, and top with the lomo saltado and its sauce.
- Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve immediately.
