If you are looking for a Filipino beef caldereta recipe that does NOT call for liver spread, this is it! Liver spread is a Filipino canned product made from pureed pork, beef, or chicken liver mixed with cereal and/or offal. Instead of liver spread I use a cornstarch slurry to add thickness to the stew. You can also add some peanut butter to thicken the stew and add a little more flavor.
