Instructions
Season meat with coconut aminos, sherry, oregano and salt. Set aside.
Skillet over medium-high heat, and add olive oil. When it shimmers saute garlic and onions until translucent, about 2 minutes.
Add marinated meat, tomato sauce, and 1 ½ cups of water, stir, then simmer covered for 1 ½ to 2 hours or until meat is tender. (see notes)
With 10 minutes left for cooking time add pepperoni, black pepper, and potatoes and cook potatoes until fork tender (about 30 minutes)
Add olives and green and red pepper and cook an additional 2 minutes.
Then add cheese, cover, and cook for another minute or two, until the cheese is melted.
Notes
Cut the meat while it's still partly frozen. This helps to cut meat thinly and more evenly.
Cook low and slow - the flavors will be extracted from all the ingredients rewarding you a Beef Caldereta that is rich and full of flavor.
Check and stir the Caldereta dish occasionally so it doesn't scorch.
Add some water or broth (½ cup at a time) as needed.
Options for other cuts of meat to use are beef brisket, short ribs, chuck, rump roast or beef shanks.
Enjoy this with a side of steamed rice.
