Ingredients

  • 5 units of potato cut into quarters
  • A finely chopped garlic
  • Two cups of uncooked rice
  • Half pound of beef tenderloin
  • 6 tablespoons of vegetable oil
  • A shelled cob
  • One big red onion cut into feathers
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 yellow bell pepper cut into strips
  • Four tablespoons of soy sauce
  • oyster sauce (optional)
  • Water
  • 2 tablespoons white or red vinegar
  • 1 tomato cut into sticks
  • coriander to taste
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1. Cook

The first thing you should do is put water in a large enough pot. There, put the potatoes together with salt to taste, covering it and allowing it to cook for about 6 or 7 minutes over high heat. Reserve the potatoes to cool. Then, take another pot, put it on the fire and add a splash of oil, the garlic and fry it for about two minutes. Pour the rice and mix to integrate. Add more or less 2 and 1/4 cups of water, the shelled corn and salt to taste. Cook this rice as you normally do. After about 20 minutes, add butter and stir to mix. Lower the heat when it is cooked.

Step 2. Fix

Take the loin and cut it into cubes of about 2 or 3 cm and season with salt and pepper to taste. Once the loin is ready, put a frying pan on the fire with oil and put the cubes of meat to skip them. Sear on all sides over high heat 1 minute; at the end reserve them too. Make this same seal with the onion feathers and the paprika strips, reserving them to mix at the end.

Step 3. Make sauce

Pour the soy sauce into a small bowl and add the oyster sauce (optional) along with the vinegar and 1/4 cup of water, stirring until the ingredients are integrated. Now, put this sauce in a frying pan over low heat and allow it to reduce until thick. Add the loin, the onion, the paprika, the tomato to this mixture at once and move all the contents so that their flavors are impregnated. Add the chopped coriander on top and stir again.

Step 4. Fry and serve

In a pot with abundant oil, fry the potatoes that you had reserved. Serve on the plate by putting a portion of rice, the French fries and the amount of loin that you think is convenient. Done, that easy you will have a Peruvian salted loin to offer it with all your love to whoever visits you, bon appetite!
