Lunch: Lomo Saltado

Before 

I was introduced to Lomo Saltado a few years ago by my dear friend Jon Bjarnson.  He worked at a little restaurant called La Carreta for a few months and asked me to come and try it.  La Carreta serves Peruvian-based cuisine, which was new to me at the time.  He advised me to get the #16 (Lomo Saltado).  I obediently followed and my life hasn't been the same since.  That's a little dramatic; let's just say, I haven't had a more delicious Peruvian meal.  Actually, I don't think I've ever ordered anything other than that.

Lomo Saltado is basically grilled steak and vegetables on a bed of fries and white rice.  I know it sounds weird, but it's magically delicious.  The steak is grilled with a touch of soy sauce at the end; the fries and rice are a perfect starch to soak up all of the juices, and the veggies are incredible.  It's an oniony, steaky, French fry-y treat.  Go check it out.
