Ingredients:

• 2 lb’s of olluco. Prepare the olluco by cutting into fine julienne.

• In a large skillet heat oil and fry the beef until all the meat turns to a golden brown color. Once the meat is cooked to golden brown remove it from the skillet and put it aside.
• Now cook the onion and garlic in the fat left over in the skillet from the meat. Then add the paprika, aji paste, cumin, salt and oregano. Cook all the ingredients for 3 minutes.
