Ingredients

The Stir-fry

  • 500g sirloin steak, sliced into strips
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 2 tomatoes, sliced
  • 2 cups cooked French fries

The Sauce

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Fresh cilantro

Sides

  • Steamed white rice

Instructions

1

Sear Steak

Heat oil in a very hot wok or large skillet. Sear the steak strips in batches until browned and just cooked through. Remove and set aside.

2

Sauté Veggies

In the same pan, sauté the red onion until it starts to soften but still has a crunch. Add the tomatoes and cook for another minute.

3

Combine

Add the steak back to the pan along with the soy sauce, vinegar, and cumin. Toss everything together over high heat.

4

Add Fries

Gently fold in the cooked French fries and a handful of chopped cilantro. The fries should soak up some of the savory sauce.

5

Serve

Serve immediately while the fries are still somewhat crispy, alongside a portion of steamed white rice.
