Question by shakesbear11: In Peruvian cooking, what side dish should be served with beef in an aji sauce?

I'm cooking a surprise dinner for my Peruvian boyfriend and I know this is his favorite entree, but I dont know what to serve it with. I've also noticed that most recipes call for chicken instead of steak, am I making a mistake serving steak?

Peruvians cuisine seems to include lots of potatoes. What about something with the purple potatoes which are native to the Andes. I am not sure how they would prepare them but you might want to consider doing a very light potato salad with these potatoes, using tomatoes, parsley, celery and onion and a vinaigrette instead of mayonnaise dressing.
