Beef Caldereta

This is probably one of the most popular dishes from the Philippines- it was a mixture of a "spanish cuisine" too. this is how I cook mine...

You need:

1 kilo beef, cut into chunks
1 small can (350g) liver spread
2 big onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup tomato sauce
4tbsp tomato puree
1 large green peppers, diced
1large peppers, diced
2 large potatoes-cut into chunks then fry (set aside)
2 large carrots-cut diagonally
4 pieces hot chilli peppers, (if you want it spicy chopped the chilis)
3/4 cup grated cheese
2 cups beef stock or water
1/4 cup cooking or olive oil
1 can of 7up (or about 500ml 7up)

Procedure:
In a casserole, boil the beef with 7up (I use pressure cooker) once the meat is tender set aside and the broth with 7up

Use the same casserole: add the oil, sauté: garlic and onions . add the beef and fry a bit..until brown, then add the tomato puree and the tomato sauce. Once all the beef is coated with the sauce add the 7-up broth...(close the lid and simmer)
When it's boiling- add the liver spread...mix well, then add the potatoes...add the beef stock if the sauce is dry then add the rest of the veggies, close the lid- let it simmer-then add the cheese-I also add about half cup of frozen green peas- if you want your pepper (capcicum) half cook, add them 5 minutes before you switch off the cooker.
