Gather @beef sirloin{500%g}, @potato{500%g}, @red onion{1}, @red wine vinegar{2%tbsp}, @vegetable oil{500%ml}, @long-grain rice{300%g}, @fresh cilantro{2%tbsp} and @black pepper{}.

Fry the potatoes in 180°C oil until golden and crisp, about 6 minutes. Drain, @salt{} and keep warm. ~{6%minutes}

Season the beef strips generously with salt and pepper and let them come to room temperature while the wok heats.

Get the wok smoking hot with 1 tablespoon of oil and sear the beef in two batches, about 90 seconds per batch, until browned but still pink inside. Set aside. ~{3%minutes}

Add another spoon of oil and stir-fry the onion, @garlic{2%clove} and @aji amarillo paste{1%tbsp} for 1 minute — the onion should stay crunchy.

Return the beef with the @tomato{3}, @soy sauce{3%tbsp} and vinegar. Toss over full heat for 1 minute so the juices form a glossy pan sauce. ~{1%minutes}

Fold in the fries (or pile them alongside), shower with cilantro, and serve at once with rice.
