Procedure of the recipe.
- Mix vinegar, Sillao, pisco, garlic, aji amarillo, chuño, salt, pepper and cumin in a bowl. This is used to macerate the tuna.
- We cut each tuna, lengthwise in 3 centimeters, and macerate for half an hour. The maceration time is important, since it allows it to take flavor.
- After this time, in a frying pan with plenty of oil, fry the pieces of tuna a few at a time.
- It is good to use a kitchen spatula to turn each piece and make sure they are well browned.
- Serve with creole sauce, yucca and rocoto cream.
