Beef and Chorizo Caldereta
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds beef chuck, cubed
  • 12 ounces chorizo sausage
  • 1/4 cup garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 3 cups tomato sauce
  • 2 cups peeled and cubed potatoes
  • 1 cup drained canned peas
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
1
Combine ground beef, sliced chorizo, minced garlic, vinegar, and soy sauce in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir constantly until the beef is nicely browned and the liquid has significantly decreased, approximately 20 minutes.
2
Remove from heat.
3
In a separate pot, warm olive oil over medium heat; cook and stir the onion and bell pepper in the hot oil until they become translucent, taking anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. Add tomato sauce and let it simmer until the liquid has slightly reduced, usually within a 3 to 5 minute timeframe.
4
Stir the beef-chorizo mixture into the tomato sauce mixture; bring the entire concoction to a rolling boil. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 30 to 40 minutes.
5
Add diced potatoes, frozen peas, salt, and pepper to the stew; let it simmer until the beef is tender and the potatoes are cooked through, typically within a 20 to 30 minute window. If necessary, add water to achieve the desired consistency.
