Lomo Saltado: Peruvian Mushroom Strips With Sweet Potato Fries

Lomo saltado is Peruvian version of a stir-fry made with steak, tomatoes, and red onions. It’s cooked in an incredibly simple but amazingly savory sauce made of mostly soy sauce and red wine vinegar. In this meat-free version, Portobello mushrooms stand in for beef, plus a couple of splashes of Worcestershire sauce to mimic that beefy piquant flavor. In addition to that, sweet potato and purple sweet potato give the dish its vibrant appearance. LOMO SALTADO: PERUVIAN MUSHROOM STRIPS WITH SWEET POTATO FRIES [VEGAN, GLUTEN-FREE]
