carne asada fries / lomo saltado
skirt steak, kennebec french fries, peppers

Carne asada fries sure feels like it was a recent phenomenon, but it’s basically the same as lomo saltado, which is a much older South American dish. Go to a good South American joint and order some of the stuff; you’ll find that the original just shits on any carne asada fries you’ve ever had.

For this I used kennebec potatoes for the fries, skirt steak for the beef, and a pan sauce made from soy sauce and a bit of sugar. Super minimal and very addictive.
