Beef ribs caldereta (kaldereta) is one of the most popular Filipino beef dishes. It is made with beef, tomato sauce, and other seasonings. This is usually served during fiestas and other occasions such as birthdays, weddings, and christenings. Caldereta is often spicy, which is why it has become one of the most popular beer matches in the country. The authentic caldereta usually uses goat meat. Because goat meat is not available in everyday living, beef and pork can be substituted. Any cut of meat will do, but the best cut is ribs or any part that has bones.
This dish has several variations, depending on the provinces where it came from. There are many other recipes which do not call for carrots, potatoes, or green peas. Ketchup is also a great substitute for tomato sauce. To make the sauce become thicker and creamier, we add liver spread and cheddar cheese. This makes it absolutely delicious. Give it a try, and you will certainly not regret it.
