We decided to visit an old favorite spot last weekend – El Rocoto in Cerritos. They serve great Peruvian food.
If you’ve never tried Peruvian food (what are you waiting for?), it’s South American cuisine with a pronounced Chinese influence. It’s not uncommon to find fried rice and wonton soup on a Peruvian restaurant’s menu. Actually, my favorite dish is lomo saltado, which always reminds me of the chow fun I would eat every Sunday with my grandmother in Chinatown.
For starters - hot bread and some spicy dipping sauces
Peruvian beer - it was actually very sweet.
Lomo Saltado: ribeye with french fries, onions, tomatoes, cliantro and lime.

For Father’s Day, I REALLY wanted a good steak, but with our current money problems I knew we couldn’t afford a good steak. So what’s the next best thing? Going to my favorite butcher near San Marino who dry ages their own Harris Ranch beef. Still really expensive ($20 per steak) but cheaper than high grade steaks at a steak house!
We got 2 very healthy sized New York steaks. Look at the beautiful fat in the meat!
First time grilling my own New Yorks… I learned my lesson – sear for a shorter amount of time and then cook with indirect heat longer.
Ate outside with a Malbec (<3) and some roasted new potatoes.
I gotta say… even though I didn’t do the greatest job cooking the steaks, the flavor was just so awesome. After I had my first great New York steak at Houston’s last year… I pretty much never want to eat any other cut of steak.
I know. Who says “I made a roast”? Let’s see… old white ladies?
Well I guess I’m an old white lady. Heavens to Betsy!
I forgot to take pictures of the roasted red potatoes and carrots and the gravy I made from the drippings (and horseradish sauce!).
It was like a mini Thanksgiving meal. Maybe I’ll do this next time everybody comes over… it was a bit too much work for just 3 of us.
Making meatballs is no joke… it takes a long time and it’s really messy. Go hug your mom and tell her thanks for making meatballs for you when you were a bratty little kid!
I made these the other day… they were pretty good! Using some milk soaked bread and a pork/beef combo made a really big difference.
