Not quite accurate there Abby. I appreciate your information, but nothing is misleading. It was thoroughly researched and like many recipes many cuisines are revisions from recipes taken all over the world.

@Peach Garcia, I stand by you on this. No offense, anybody can put their twist on a recipe but Caldereta is a Filipino dish, not a Korean beef stew.

@Julie Menghini, I have no issues with people cooking dishes not indigenous to their country. I take exception to that fact that you lumped Filipino caldereta and Korean beef stew as if they are one and the same. Each Asian country is unique and different, both in culture and cuisine. This smacks of disrespect to both countries.

Thank you, Lynn! Expanding my repertoire is definitely a delicious food journey.

You are correct that Caldereta is a traditional Filipino tomato-based beef stew and if you read my post you will see I indicate this. It was originally created based on Spanish-influences and then modified by the Filipinos to suit their palates, often made from goat and including a liver spread or paté. Like so many recipes, different versions exist according to where they’re made. You can find different versions of this recipe in Spain, Mexico, across Latin America, among others. To say you can’t make a recipe because you don’t claim the heritage is ridiculous. Making foods common to other countries should be celebrated.
