Slow beef and vegetable stew

Slow beef and vegetable stew

Ingredients

  • 500 g stewing beef, diced
  • 2 carrots, chunks
  • 2 potatoes, chunks
  • 1 onion
  • 2 tbsp tomato purée
  • 500 ml unsalted stock
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Contains: None of the common allergens

Method

  1. Brown the beef in the oil; add the onion, purée, stock and bay leaf.
  2. Cover and cook at 160 °C for 2 hours; add the carrot and potato for the last 45 minutes.
  3. Remove the bay leaf. Shred your child's beef and mash the vegetables a little; salt the adults'.
Safety: Fish out the bay leaf. Beef shredded, not in chunks. Serve your child's portion first, then salt the rest for the adults.
Storage: Fridge 3 days, freezer 2 months.
Tip: Two hours makes beef soft enough for a one-year-old; one hour does not.
