Caldereta is probably my favorite among all other stews that I have made. It is not only comforting and delicious, but reminiscent of a lot of good times and meals shared with my family.
Equipment
4.5-quart Dutch oven or a heavy-bottomed pot
Ingredients
3 pounds beef chuck cut into 1½" cubes (see note)
12 ounces Yukon gold or waxy potatoes cut into 1¼" chunks
12 ounces carrots cut into 1¼" chunks
½ red bell pepper cut into 1¼" chunks
½ green bell pepper cut into 1¼" chunks
4 cloves garlic minced
1 medium onion chopped
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 (28-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon chicken/beef base or bouillon dissolved in 1 cup of water
3 bay leaves dried or fresh
1 tablespoon fish sauce sub: soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar or more
½ cup sweet pickles or gherkins cut in half; if big
½ cup pitted green olives (Manzanilla or Castelvetrano olives)
¼ cup liver spread
Salt and pepper to taste
Neutral oil for searing and sautéing
Instructions
1. Season meat with salt and pepper. Sear them over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes on each side. Add oil as needed. Set aside.
2. Lightly sear potatoes, carrots, and bell peppers. Set aside
3. Sauté garlic and onions for about a minute until softened.
4. Add crushed red pepper and toast for 30 seconds.

7. Lower the heat to medium. Cover and simmer for 1½ to 2 hours, until the meat is tender. Skim off the fat layer that pools on the surface.
8. Mix in potatoes and carrots. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes until almost tender.
9. Add bell peppers, pickles, olives, liver spread, and ground pepper to taste. Stir and continue cooking for 5 minutes.
