Peru · 1 city
Peruvian cooking is best known for seafood, but Lima also has a strong grill culture, from anticuchos to Argentine-style parrillas and modern steakhouses. Much of the premium steak is imported from Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil and the US.
Beef to know
Menus usually say where the beef comes from, as premium steak is often imported.
Lomo saltado, strips of beef stir-fried with onion and tomato, is the most famous Peruvian beef dish.
Ask for "jugoso" for rare, "a punto" for medium and "bien cocido" for well done.
