Instructions

  1. 1

    Brown the Beef: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Sear the beef cubes in batches until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, lower the heat and sauté the onions and garlic until softened and fragrant. Return the beef to the pot.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Stew: Pour in the tomato sauce and beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours until the beef is fork-tender.

  4. 4

    Thicken with Liver Spread: Once the beef is tender, stir in the liver spread. This is the secret ingredient that thickens the sauce and gives Kaldereta its distinctively rich, earthy flavor. Simmer for 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Veggies: Add the cubed potatoes and cook for 10 minutes until tender. Finally, stir in the sliced bell peppers and green olives. Cook for 3 more minutes. Serve hot with steamed rice.
