• 1 packet Mama Sita’s Kaldereta Seasoning Mix

Instructions

1. Prep the vegetables. Chop the onion, garlic, carrots, and potatoes. If using bell pepper, chop that as well.

3. Brown the beef. Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef on all sides to develop extra flavor.

4. Load the Crock-Pot.  Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and potatoes. Pour tomato sauce, 1 can of water or broth, soy sauce, and 3 bay leaves. Lay on top the browned beed.
