Atún Sierra y Costa (Highland & Coast Tuna)

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh tuna fillets
  • 1 large red onion
  • 2 red bell peppers
  • 2 ripe tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp La Favorita Soya Oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Cumin
  • 2 tbsp tomato sauce

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp of La Favorita Soya Oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 lb of fresh tuna fillets and cook on both sides until browned outside but still juicy inside. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add 1 large red onion cut into thin strips and 2 red bell peppers cut into strips. Cook until tender.
  4. Add 2 chopped ripe tomatoes, 2 tbsp of tomato sauce, 1 tsp of cumin, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook a few minutes longer until the tomatoes soften and a sauce forms.
  5. Return the tuna fillets to the skillet with the sauce and cook over medium-low heat for a few minutes so they soak up the flavors.
  6. Serve the tuna hot with white rice and fried sweet plantains.
