Instructions
Marinate the Beef
Combine the beef strips with half the soy sauce and let them marinate for at least 10 minutes. Pat the beef dry before cooking to ensure proper searing and browning.
Sear the Beef
Heat a wok or large skillet over the highest heat possible until it begins to smoke. Add the beef in a single layer and sear for 2 minutes without stirring to develop a deep crust, then toss briefly.
Add Vegetables
Add the onion wedges and aji amarillo to the wok and stir fry for 2 minutes. Add the tomato wedges, remaining soy sauce, and red wine vinegar and toss everything together over high heat.
Finish and Plate
Remove from heat and taste for seasoning, adjusting with soy sauce or vinegar as needed. Serve immediately over white rice alongside crispy french fries, garnishing with fresh cilantro.
