Beef Caldereta :)

Beef Caldereta is a popular dish especially during occassions. Although it takes time in preparing this dish, i love cooking it but usually i prefer to make it during weekend due to time it needs to make the meat tender. And it is advisable to use pressure cooker in tenderising the meat of beef. See below for the ingredients and cooking procedure. Enjoy cooking! ;)
