Lomo Saltado is a popular Peruvian dish that combines the flavors of beef, potatoes, and vegetables in a sautéed preparation. The dish has its roots in Chinese cooking, but has become a staple of Peruvian cuisine. The dish's distinct flavor comes from the yellow chili peppers used to add spice and heat.
