Home cooking attempt — Lomo Saltado from scratch

I spent an afternoon making Lomo Saltado from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting leche de tigre lime marinade right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The subtly sweet with chilli heat result was rewarding once I got it right.

Lima is considered one of the world's great culinary destinations. I served it with Inca Kola as the recipe suggested and the pairing made sense. It took longer than I expected but the outcome was genuinely satisfying. Making Lomo Saltado yourself gives you a new appreciation for what goes into it at a restaurant.
