Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we've revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9 / air fryer 200C
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a small bowl & a measuring jug

Make the fries

  • Cut the potatoes into fries
  • Place the fries onto the lined baking tray and toss with 1 tsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
  • Roast for 25-30 mins / air fryer 20-25 mins, until soft and golden

Start the lomo saltado

  • Meanwhile, thinly slice the onion and peppers. Finely chop or crush the garlic
  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and pepper and cook for 4-6 mins, until softening
  • Add the beef and cook for 3 mins, until golden brown

Simmer the beef & make the coriander dressing

  • Sprinkle the half pack of cornflour over the beef and veg. Toss well, then add the tamari, vinegar, stock powder, garlic, half the chilli paste and 250ml water
  • Bring to a boil and simmer for 6 mins, until the sauce thickens. Add the tomatoes, then simmer for a final 2 mins, until the beef is cooked through. Add a splash of water if it gets too dry
  • Meanwhile, finely chop the coriander. Add half to the small bowl and stir through the remaining chilli paste (add less for less heat). Squeeze in the juice from the lime

Finish & plate up

  • Check your meat is cooked through; it should be golden brown, steaming hot, the juices should run clear when cut and there should be no pink / rare meat inside
  • Toss the remaining coriander through the beef
  • Serve the fries onto plates, topped with the beef. Drizzle over the coriander dressing for those who'd like extra heat
