For an even richer flavor, try searing the beef in batches before marinating to develop a deep crust.
Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots, red bell peppers, or even green beans to customize your Caldereta.
A splash of fish sauce (patis) can add an authentic Filipino touch.
Serve hot with steamed white rice for a truly satisfying meal.
If you don't have chorizo, you can substitute with another type of sausage, like kielbasa or andouille.
