What is Lomo Saltado? Peru’s Most Beloved Dish at La Granja Restaurants
If you have never heard of Lomo Saltado, you are about to discover your new favorite meal. One of Peru’s most iconic dishes, it is a sizzling, savory stir-fry fusing Peruvian and Chinese culinary traditions. At La Granja, prepared fresh, served generously, priced for everyone.
- Tender strips of sirloin beef wok-cooked over high heat
- Red onions and tomatoes stir-fried until slightly charred
- Soy sauce and vinegar – the Chinese influence giving it distinctive umami depth
- Aji amarillo – Peru’s yellow chili pepper, adding warmth without overwhelming heat
- Crispy French fries mixed directly into the stir-fry, absorbing all the savory sauce
- Steamed white rice served alongside to complete the plate
Chinese immigrants arriving in Peru in the late 1800s brought wok cooking and soy sauce. Peruvian cooks blended these with native aji amarillo and beef, creating the chifa tradition. Lomo Saltado is its most famous dish, now served at every La Granja location across Florida.
