Get the recipe: The Best Basic Beef Baby Food (6+ months)
Beef? For Baby? Yes! This homemade Basic Beef Baby Food is an excellent addition to your baby’s favorite purees - both of my babies loved it mixed with this carrot puree - for extra nutrients and flavor! This is a wonderfully simple recipe where we simmer beef and oregano in a no-sodium beef broth before blending, which makes for an incredibly flavorful puree! Great for 6+ months.
Ingredients
- 8 ounce beef chuck stew meat, or cubed sirloin beef
- 2 cups beef or vegetable broth, low or no sodium
- 1 tsp dried oregano
Instructions
- 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.
