Ingredients
For the Beef:
- 1 lb beef sirloin, cut into thin strips
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Stir-Fry:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

For Serving:
- 4 cups cooked white rice

Instructions
- Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, marinate the beef with soy sauce, vinegar, cumin, salt, and pepper for at least 15 minutes.
- Stir-Fry the Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet, stir-fry the beef until browned, then set aside.
- Prepare the Stir-Fry: Sauté onions, garlic, and ají amarillo. Add tomatoes, return beef to the skillet, stir in oyster sauce, and cook until heated through.

Notes
- For a spicier dish, add extra ají amarillo or hot sauce.
- You can substitute sirloin with flank steak or tenderloin.
- Frozen French fries work well, but homemade fries offer the best texture.
