• 400g beef sirloin, in thick strips
• 1 red onion, in thick wedges
• 2 tomatoes, in wedges
• 1 ají amarillo, sliced (or ½ yellow pepper + ½ tsp chilli)
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• chips and rice to serve

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Get the pan hotter than feels sensible. This is a Chinese-Peruvian stir-fry and it lives on fierce heat.
2. Sear the beef in one layer, in two batches, 1 min a side. Remove it.
3. Throw in the onion and chilli for 1 min — they must keep their crunch.
4. Return the beef with the tomato, soy and vinegar. Toss 30 seconds; the sauce should flash into steam.
5. Take it off the heat while the tomatoes still hold their shape.
6. Serve with chips AND rice. Both. That combination is the dish, not an accident.
