Filipino Beef Caldereta
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds cubed beef stew meat
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 3 cups water
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 (14 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 2 red potatoes, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large carrot, sliced diagonally
  • 1/2 pound miniature cocktail sausages
  • 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, undrained
  • 1 (6 ounce) can medium pitted ripe olives, drained
  • 3 large bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
Instructions
1
Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a large cooking vessel over a moderate temperature. Season the beef with salt and black pepper before browning it in the hot oil along with minced garlic, taking approximately 10 minutes.
2
Add water, pineapple juice, chopped onion, tomato sauce, and concentrated tomato paste to the pot. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then reduce the heat to a low setting and let it simmer until the beef is almost tender, spanning 35 to 45 minutes.
3
Combine diced potatoes, sliced red bell pepper, grated carrot, mini sausages, pineapple chunks with their juice, pitted olives, and bay leaves into the stew. Reheat the mixture to a boil and continue to simmer until the potatoes are tender, requiring an additional 20 minutes.
4
Finish the dish by adding a dash of hot pepper sauce, salt, and black pepper to taste.
