Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen French fries

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 pound beef tri tip, sliced 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 large onion, sliced into strips

  • 3 large tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and sliced into strips

  • 1 yellow chili pepper (preferably Peruvian aji amarillo)

  • ¼ cup distilled white vinegar

  • 1 dash soy sauce to taste

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  2. Arrange frozen French fries in a single layer on an ungreased cookie sheet.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until light golden, 22 to 24 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Season sliced beef with salt and pepper. Cook and stir beef in hot oil until just cooked and the juices release. Use a slotted spoon to transfer beef to a plate.

  5. Cook and stir onions in beef drippings in the pan until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in tomato and aji amarillo; cook until tomato softens. Pour in vinegar and soy sauce.

  6. Add French fries and beef to the pan. Cover and cook until beef is cooked through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; sprinkle with chopped parsley to serve.
