Four Foods on Friday: To Boost Energy

Here are my week’s four answers for last week's Four Foods on Friday. A weekly meme revitalized from Fun, Crafts and Recipes. Since this month is all about the Olympic game, so this week's questions are about fitness/physical activity/sports.

#1. What do you drink to rehydrate in the heat or after working out?
~Drinks a lot of water. Water is the best to drink if you wanted to hydrate your body from too much sweating. Sometimes, I drink green tea too.
#2. What do you eat to help boost or create energy?
~I always have to make sure I ate anything with rice. Always with rice.
#3. What’s the healthiest snack you eat?
~I love salad, especially the salad from McDonalds, they're the best.

Beef Kaldereta (Beef Stew) Ingredients:

1 kilo beef, cut into chunks
1 big can (350g) liver spread or ground liver
5 onions, minced
5 cloves garlic, minced
6 tomatoes, sliced
1 cup tomato sauce
3 green peppers, diced
3 red peppers, diced
4 pieces hot chilli peppers, minced
3/4 cup grated cheese
2 cups beef stock or water
1/4 cup cooking or olive oil

Kaldereta Cooking Instructions:

*In a casserole, sauté: garlic and onions in oil. Then add tomatoes, red & green pepper and chilli peppers.
*Add in the beef, tomato sauce, liver spread and water or stock. Salt to taste and let simmer for at least 1 hour or until the beef is tender.
*Add cheese and olives (optional) and continue to simmer until the sauce thickens.
*Serve with plain rice

Cooking Tips:

*Instead of beef, goat's meat (kambing) can be used. If goat's meat is used, marinate the meat in vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper for at least 15 minutes.
*For a special kaldereta, do not use water or beef stock. Use an equivalent weight of onions to the beef (1 kg of onions : 1 kg of beef). The onions will serve as water to the dish.
