Very good! I omitted the jalapenos, but it didn't miss a beat. I used half a bag of frozen fries (oven cooked) to help out. I mixed the fries in at the end. I'm glad someone mentioned to drain the tomatoes. Thanks for sharing!

This was really good. I subbed pork for steak and used less oil and black pepper. I also took one reviewer's advice and used smoked paprika. I think I should have cooked the onions first, since the meat was overcooked by the time the onions were done. Portions are huge!

Great!! I just used olive oil, loin steak, and used the frozen fries trick and it turns out great and smells absolutely delicious.

Absolutely wonderful recipe! I used to have this dish at my favorite Peruvian restaurant, but I just LOVED this home version. I made a mistake and forgot to drain the tomatoes, but it worked out just fine. Thanks so much for posting this! My whole family, including my 4 year old and 1 year old loved it!

Delicious! We've enjoyed this dish in Peruvian restaurants, now I can make it at home! The flavors are amazing in this dish. I didn't use cilantro or jalapenos as we do not care for them. Instead, I added a bit of cayenne pepper. I also used small red potatoes cut into wedges and prepared per Zesty Oven Baked Fries, Zesty Oven Baked Fries, for the potatoes. I also added some fresh corn kernels and red/green/yellow pepper strips as I happened to have some on hand. Served over white rice. This is going into the favorites file! Made for ZWT4.
Edited to add: I have made this recipe many times, it is one of the best recipes I have tried from 'Zaar! For the amount of meat and red onions call for, I triple the marinade recipe, but only use 1/2 the amount of oil called for. You can use strips of cooked meat in this recipe as well and it is also good with chicken. I also use 1/2 a bag of frozen french fries, cooked, for the potatoes and add a bag of southwest blend veggies, which includes corn, black beans roasted peppers, onions and chiles. I leave out the cilantro and jalapenos and add cayenne pepper instead. The marinade smells amazing!! An absolutely fabulous recipe that we adore!

Wonderful flavor!! I used one jalapeno, seeded, and instead of rice vinegar used red white vinegar (all I had). We decided that there was enough starch from the potato, so we didn't bother putting it over rice. I'm sure that would be tasty, though. :) Thanks for sharing a great recipe!

A nice alternative to stew or fajitas. The marinade is great for tenderizing- (I used flank steak rather than tenderloin. This worked well in smaller portions - once the meat is marinated, it's quick to take out and prepare what you need. I used fresh tomatoes, a little more than the recipe calls for, unmarinated onions, and yams rather than potatoes.

We enjoyed this very much, the only thing I did differently was to parboil the potatoes (we have late season ones at the moment so they don't fry up as quickly as new potatoes) before frying. The flavours were very tasty, it was very easy to prepare the marinade & meat in the morning before work, leave it in the fridge, then take it out to bring it to temperature before cooking. Thanks for posting, made for ZWT4.

This was a different sort of dish for us. It has a nice mellow flavour. For our taste preferences, I think next time I'll leave out the potatoes completely and add a smokey paprika to the marinade. Add some veggies like asparagus & cauliflower for colour and crispness and serve over rice. Would also double the jalapeno and add some cayenne as we like a bit more heat. Made for ZWT4

A new and different take on stir-fry. DH especially loved it, being my meat&potatoes man. I used 3/4 lb stirf fry beef and 1 jalapeno. The spice was perfect! We will definitely do this again.

We loved this. It's just a little spicy, and very fresh. The potatoes are still a little firm, but the beef is tender, and the onions are lovely and sweet. And it was so easy, I'm sure I'll make this again and again.

My son says "more jalapeños" but overall this was a 5 star dish for us. I followed the ingredients exactly, using fresh cilantro. My boys gave this 5 stars and want me to make it again. Made for ZWT4.

This spicy, meaty dish is pretty good. We really liked the fried potatoes combined with the rice. It's a bit meatier than we're used to stir-fries being, and we thought it could be nice to throw in some more veggies. We definitely wouldn't recommend leaving out the cilantro, but we didn't include the jalapenos and still found it fairly spicy.
