BEEF CALDERETA

Beef Caldereta is a Filipino Kaldereta Recipe that uses beef. Caldereta or Kaldereta is a classic filipino dish in which every filipino household has its own version in cooking this recipe. Caldereta can be cooked with pork, goat, beef or chicken and stewed in tomatoes but the most exotic and traditional of the kaldereta is the goat kaldereta recipe.

One of my favorite Filipino dishes is the Kaldereta or Caldereta. It is a hearty meat dish using chevon (goat meat), beef, or pork combined with potatoes, carrots, tomato sauce, and liver spread or liver paste. This is a popular dish served during special occasions and a regular in every Filipino cookbook.

My family loves Beef Kaldereta and I must say that my wife is an expert in cooking this dish. As special at it may seem, preparing something like this takes some time and patience but it is all worth the wait. I would recommend the presence of a pressure cooker though to save some time in making the meat tender.

Saute have 3 large onions (chopped) and bawang- (10 cloves, minced) 
Tract that large chunks of beef shoulder, 4 pounds 
Put a little 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1 large can of tomato sauce, 15 dried bay leaves and 6 cups of water 
Boil until tender- 
Apply 2 cans of SPREAD- LIVER (about halfway though the cooking process) 
Add 1 cup green olives (pitted) 
Add the potatoes cut into large pieces like in the pic. 
Add the carrots, same size like potatoes 
Uncover and simmer until veggies are soft and sauce is thick. 
Add red and green bell pepper (cut into large pieces) 
Put a little sugar and hot sauce. 

Done!
