Now, for a really good Caldereta (beef stew) I always use shin of beef. That's also gotten to be a little bit expensive these days but used to be so so very cheap.
Cook it long,low and slow and you'll be amazed at just how melt-in-the-mouth and tasty it can be. Just wonderful. No other cut of beef comes anywhere near.
