Baby Beef Stew Food

BASIC BEEF BABY FOOD

Steps:

• Boil: In a medium saucepan, bring beef, broth and oregano to a boil over medium heat. Turn to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until beef is cooked all the way through. Let cool slightly.
• Transfer: Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beef to a blender or food processor, reserve broth.
• Puree: starting on low and working your way up to high-speed, puree the beef until you reach your desired consistency, adding in broth in 1/4 cup increments if needed. I had to add in just 1/4 cup of broth to get the consistency seen in this photo.
• Eat: serve to baby plain or added into another puree.
• Freeze: store a small portion in the fridge and freeze the rest for another meal.

Steps:

• Trim excess fat off roast and cut into 1-1/2 inch cubes.
• Fill medium sauce pan with water, add meat, cover pan and simmer over medium/low heat for 40 minutes.
• While the meat is cooking, peel the carrots and slice. Peel the potato and cut into 1/2 inch cubes. Set aside.
• After the meat has been cooking for 40 minutes, add the carrots, onion, peas & potatoes. Cover and cook another 15 minutes or until vegetables are soft and meat is longer pink. If the water disipates before the vegetables are done, add more as needed.
• FOR INFANTS:.
• Separate the meat from vegetables. Using your food processor, puree the meat first to almost the desired consitency. Add the vegetables and puree until smooth or desired consistency.
• Scoop into ice cube tray and freeze. Once frozen, pop out and store in sealed plastic bag for up to 3 months.
• FOR OLDER BABIES:.
• Cut up meat to bite size pieces and serve veggies as-is. Freeze in indivual containers for easy one serving sizes.
