Slow Cooker Beef Kaldereta

Ingredients

• 2 lb beef chuck, cut into chunks (seasoned with salt & pepper)
• 1 onion, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 3 potatoes, chopped
• 1 pack Kaldereta (Caldereta) seasoning mix (he uses Mama Sita's) — add water/tomato sauce per the packet directions
• Steamed rice, to serve

Directions

• Chop the onion, garlic, carrots, and potatoes.
• Season the beef chuck chunks with salt and pepper, then brown them in a hot pan for extra flavor.
• Add the beef and all the vegetables straight into the crock pot.
• Stir in the Kaldereta seasoning mix (the secret to that distinct kaldereta flavor) along with the liquid its packet calls for.
• Put the lid on, set it, and forget it — cook on low for about 6 hours, until the beef is fork-tender in a rich savory sauce.
• Serve over a big scoop of rice.
