Lomo Saltado is a dish of marinated Angus loin slice sauted,onions w/tomatoes and french fries, served over white rice. It is one of the most popular recipes in Peru
They have fried corn which is similar to corn nuts in a sense on the tables.
My gf gets this dish : Sudado de pargo entero (Whole poached red snaper)
Red snaper pouched w/ tomatoes,onions and special peruvian vinegar corn
we also share this dish : Jalea (Fried fish and Seafood mix)
Deep fried fish and seafood mix, tender inside and crispy outside, this breaded fish and seafood is served with fried yucca, tartar sauce, and criolle onions sauce)
They have a red onion, Cilantro, and heavy limejuice salsa. It is really flavorful. Ceviche is a big dish in the Peruvian resturants as well.
One of our favorite Peruvian resturants is Sabor a Peru which all these dishes are from.

As for the ground red chili peppers, I tend to make a hot sauce with Fish sauce, lime juice and dried ground chili peppers, its used on meats, or lots of things. The ground brown rice is used to make a dish called Larb.

Wow fascinating. Ok I like Peruvian food.

Interesting how the lime and corn is prominent in the cuisine. I was not aware that beef was so big in Peru, but that does not surprise me.

Thank you so much for taking the time to educate us.

I think I am having a love affair with Lime/Limon Verde just cant get enough.

Sorry chili peppers. You haz competition.
