Soft beef and vegetable pieces

Soft beef and vegetable pieces

Ingredients

  • 100 g stewing beef, diced small
  • 1 carrot, in batons
  • 1 potato, in chunks
  • 250 ml unsalted stock
  • 1 bay leaf

Contains: None of the common allergens

Method

  1. Simmer the beef in the stock with the bay leaf, covered, 1 hour until it falls apart.
  2. Add the carrot and potato for the last 20 minutes.
  3. Remove the bay leaf. Shred the beef with two forks and serve the pieces to be picked up. Cool.
Safety: Fish out the bay leaf. Beef shredded, not in chunks. Cool fully before handing over — the inside stays hot much longer than the outside.
Storage: Fridge 2 days, freezer 1 month.
Tip: Beef cooked long enough shreds into soft strands a baby can pick up and gum. Undercooked beef is chewy and gets spat out.
