All -Natural Beef Caldereta

Now a days, easy to mix powdered ingredients are being used in preparing our favorite home-cooked meals. It can make our prep easier, but it is killing our health slowly. Just imagine the preservatives used in order to preserve such powdered mixture. Worse, we don't really know if the ingredients indicated are real. Caldereta is one Filipino dish that I just recently learned to prepare the old-fashioned way. But easy.

Ingredients:

1/2 K beef cubes

1/2 C tomato sauce

2 cups beef broth

3 medium potatoes (chopped into quarters)

2 medium carrots chopped

1 red bell pepper chopped

5 cloves garlic minced

1 medium onion chopped

1/2 tsp whole pepper corn

4-5 pcs. dried bay leaves

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp olive oil

1 /2 small packet of equal or 1/2 tsp sugar

salt and ground pepper

How To:

Boil beef cubes ahead until tender. Set aside beef broth.

In a separate sauce pan, saute garlic and onion in olive oil.

Add tenderized beef. Saute until beef is a bit brown.

Add potatoes and carrots. Saute again for another minute.

Add 2 cups of beef broth and whole pepper. Simmer until vegetables are cooked.
