Peanut's Pot Roast
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. beef for stew
- 1/4 c. chopped onion (about 1/8 of a medium onion)
- 1/4 t. minced garlic
- 1 medium red potato, chopped (peeled or unpeeled)
- 1/2 c. carrots
- 3/4 c. water
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, brown the beef over medium high heat until it starts to brown, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, chop the vegetables. Add onion and garlic to the beef, saute for 2 minutes.
3. Add chopped potato and carrots, saute for 1 minute.
4. Add water and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40-45 minutes until beef is cooked through.
5. Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly. In a food processor or blender, puree until smooth, adding the cooking liquid to thin.
6. Freezes well in ice cube trays!
**As baby gets older, can make pot roast for the whole family and cut into small pieces instead of pureeing.
When first introducing meats to baby, I recommend mixing 1 cube of the meat mixture with 2-3 cubes of fruit/veggie purees. Annalyn still seems to struggle with the thick texture of the meat dishes alone. She had a hard time with this one when I gave it to her plain, but the next day we mixed it with butternut squash & peas and she gobbled it right up. Then she got super happy! Take a look...
after dinner play time is the best!
