  • 1 lb Beef sirloin, sliced into strips
  • 12 oz Spaghetti or egg noodles
  • 1 large Red onion, sliced into wedges
  • 2 medium Roma tomatoes, sliced into wedges
  • 4 tbsp Soy sauce (Sillao)
  • 2 tbsp Red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Aji Amarillo paste
  • 1 tsp Ginger, minced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 0.5 cup Green onions, chopped
  • 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 3 tbsp Vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until smoking.

  3. 3

    Add the beef strips in batches, searing them quickly until browned on the outside but still tender; remove beef from the pan and set aside.

  4. 4

    In the same pan, add the remaining oil and stir-fry the onions and ginger for about 2 minutes until the onion edges are slightly charred.

  5. 5

    Add the garlic, tomatoes, and aji amarillo paste, sautéing for another 2 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften.

  6. 6

    Return the beef to the pan and pour in the soy sauce and red wine vinegar, tossing everything to combine.

  7. 7

    Add the cooked noodles to the wok, tossing vigorously to ensure the noodles are well-coated in the sauce.

  8. 8

    Turn off the heat and stir in the green onions and cilantro before serving immediately.
