If you live in Los Angeles, you've probably heard of a Peruvian restaurant called Mario's and their famous dish, Lomo Saltado. I recently went and still loved it as much as when I first had it almost 10 years ago. It's a simple stir fry dish with beef, tomatoes, red onions, and yes, french fries. To top it all off, they have a spicy green sauce, also known as Aji sauce to round out the dish. After watching how this dish is prepared, I had to make it myself. I was pleasantly surprised to see how delicious and easy lomo saltado is to make!
