As Lasang Pinoy (a food blogging event promoting filipino food) celebrates its 23rd edition with Crockpot cooking. I couldn't think of anything better that falls under the category of "slowly cooked" than making a Spicy Beef Caldereta. It is a beef recipe slowly marinated and slowly simmered with vegetables. There exist plenty of versions of cooking this recipe but so far I judge the one my auntie often cooks for us on special occassions as the best. Unfortunately I don't have her recipe (I think her version is the one that uses 7-Up as the secret ingredient). The only thing I could guarantee you is that this beef caldereta is hideously spicy and it's been cooked slowly in my cracked pot. I'm not a fan of crock pot because I don't have one, but all my slow cooking recipes are cooked on my bygone inherited terrine, an earthenware cooking dish that I cook idly in the oven.
1 kg of stewing beef cut into cubes
250 g
2 red bell pepper grilled, peeled and chopped
100 g of pitted green olives
half a cup of tomato sauce
1 tsp of tomato paste
2tsps of chili powder or cayenne powder
2 tbsps of hot sauce
2 tbsps of chili oil
2 tbsps of olive oil
10 g of butter
Marinating ingredients:
Half a cup of red wine, salt, pepper, 1 tbsp of crushed garlic, 1 big onion minced, half a cup of coarsely chopped chicken liver, some thyme and rosemary
Marinate for at least one hour the beef. In a pan, fry lightly the beef with olive oil and butter. Use the same frying pan for the carrots and potatoes. Then in a crock pot or any deep and thick casserole put all the ingredients including the marinating sauce. And simmer covered over low fire for two hours.

Look at all of the heat in there! It sounds tasty.
I received a crock pot for xmas and have been dying to use it. This sounds like the perfect dish to christen my crock pot with.
hi, dhanggit! i like your food blog. by the way, is dhanggit fish like the cebuano danggit?
I think I will sue you... I am getting extra pounds just by looking at your pictures and reading your recipes. ;-)
Spicy caldereta, yum!
I thought of making caldereta for the Lasang Pinoy. I cooked and posted another recipe for this event but I sent the email/link too late, I didn't notice the time difference, silly me.:)
Do Filipinos eat olives? Or is that the Provencal addition? :)
Huh! My verification word is UKpig. :P
My no-fail crock pot beef stew has beef cubes + celery + carrots + onions. Woooo.....I want to make this soon.
I love kaldereta too especially when it's a bit spicy and the beef is very tender. We pair it with crunchy dilis and plain rice.
i will have to try this version, it sounds great. i'm used to caldereta with coconut milk.
dhanggit, i was going to make kare kare for you as my entry to LP but the week has just vanished into thin air. let's see how the weekend pans out.
btw, i love your rustic earthenware. this would be something great to pass down to your daughter.
lovely and so desirable by me... I miss them so much!
I'll have to try making kadereta. Yours looks delicious! Great photos too :)
I love kaldereta :). I'm lazy though and i always just use Mamacita mix. Will try out your recipe, it looks delicous.
