#FoodTrippinWithOnin
Episode 9: Beef Kaldereta
Ingredients:
1 kg Beef (assorted parts – kaldereta cut – I usually choose parts with bones, with tendon “litid” and tenderloin part) bones add taste, tendon adds body and thickness to the sauce, tenderloin for some tenderness of the beef
For marinade:
1 jar pickle relish
For boiling beef with:
2 tbsp pepper corn
4 bay leaves
½ cup fish sauce
1 beef cube
1 bulb onion cut into 4 pcs
1 liter of water
For Kaldereta Sauce:
Half bulb of garlic for sauteeing beef (lightly pressed cloves)
200g tomato sauce (or medium sized tetra pack)
100g of the beef stock (from boiling beef with/half of the pack of tomato sauce for reference)
2 small cans of Reno liver spread – specific brand for the spicyness and texture
¼ kg of chicken liver – (mashed) for a more natural liver ingredient
1 Green bell pepper- julienned (usually it’s red) – but for color contrasting, green!
2 Potatoes Medium - Round cuts ½ inch cuts
2 Carrots Medium - Round cuts ½ inch cuts
Cheddar Cheese (sliced) – I usually consume half block of cheese (lol) for added saltyness and thickness of the sauce
Cooking oil
Procedure:
1. Marinate beef with pickle relish for 30 mins. This will help in tenderizing meat and give it a sweet hint. (learned it from a nice lady I met who owns a catering biz)
2. After marinating, tenderize beef by boiling it on pressure cooker for 30 to 45 mins
(for a melt in your mouth effect) reducing heat once pressure cooker whistles. Or boil on normal pot for 1 ½ to 2 hours. (Making sure na may matitira pa na gas pangluto after)
Boil with: 1L water (make sure beef is covered), 2 tbsp pepper corn, 4 bay leaves, ½ cup fish sauce, 1 beef cube, 1 bulb onion. Set aside beef and beef stock separately after.
