This beef stew is really delicious and worth your time trying..I don’t cook or eat beef often but when I do, I like to cook beef caldereta, it has become my favorite beef dish especially since I learned how to make it myself. I used to get to eat this only when my mother-in- law cooks it ( she pressure-cooks it to make the beef really tender). I like to use beef cubes in making caldereta because it is lean but you may also use beef short ribs or any part that you prefer.
This Filipino dish is of Spanish influence; a very popular version of this make use of goat meat, popularly known as kalderetang kambing ( I have never tried it..my husband love it though) which is available in specialty restaurants here.
saute garlic, onion, bellpeppers and beef ( I used shortribs here)
add red wine and tomato paste and water..simmer
add pitted olives, liver spread, cream and cheese..
plate..and serve! nom, nom!

I really love filipino recipe. Keep it up and Thank you for Sharing.
i think this stew is the heartiest of all spanish-influenced stews that we have in the philippines. my pa would always cook this and will never cook it if it’s not goat meat. in our region we call this bakareta (which referes to beef - baka) because in iloilo kaldereta is strictly for kambing. i might as well try it with red wine. the cheese in this recipe is the winner. cheers!
oh, I got it wrong, so caldereta really uses goat meat and beef is a variation.. got it! :) thanks Ziggy! :)
I’ve never had this before but it looks really delicious. The sauce just looks soooo flavorful. I need to try this!
