Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 2 tablespoons aji panca paste (or 1 tablespoons paprika)
• 1 lb sirloin steak, cut in slices, or charqui
• 2 lbs ullucos, julienned (cut in sticks)
• 1 cup meat stock
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• 5 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Wash the ullucos in plenty of cold water. Drain and reserve.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over high heat, and stir fry the meat until nicely golden but not dry. You should do this little by little because the meat don´t have to sweat. Transfer the meat to a plate, cover and reserve.
3. In the same pan cook onion, garlic and aji panca paste or paprika. Stir constantly.
4. Add the chopped ullucos, stir and cook for a few minutes. Put the sirloin back to the saucepan, add the stock, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and cook over medium – low heat, covered, for 40 minutes. Taste again and season with salt and pepper.
5. Add parsley and serve at once with fluffy white rice.
