Beef & Sweet Potato Baby Puree
Looking for a savory meal for your baby?
Then, I’ve got you!
Beef puree can have a lot of flavor, and while some babies love the boldness of it, others don’t. My littlest one was struggling with eating beef puree, so I decided to add in some creamy sweet potatoes and a pinch of thyme. It was an instant success! She ate her entire serving of this puree and then demanded more (in baby sign language, of course).
Ingredients
- Beef: for this recipe, we are going to use cubed sirloin beef
- Sweet Potato: peeled and roughly chopped
- Thyme: I love to add in a pinch of fresh thyme but you can also add in rosemary or chives or omit altogether.
Let’s get cooking, shall we?
Chunks of good-quality beef are simmered in beef broth with sweet potato chunks and a pinch of thyme until the beef is just done. Again, you do not want to overcook the beef. That will make it hard, flavorless, and result in a bland and boring puree. We don’t want that, now do we? Plus, it makes this puree a quick and easy puree you can whip up any night you are short on time, which would be every night in our house!
This puree is like comfort in a bowl!
Tender and creamy, this savory puree will tempt your little ones’ taste buds with flavorful beef and pungent thyme, rounded out with oh-so-creamy sweet potatoes.
Other things to add to this savory puree –
- mix with cooked barley for a well-rounded baby dinner
- add broccoli puree for a balanced meal
- for a baby 3-course meal, start with green bean + parsley puree, then beef + sweet potato puree with thyme, followed with roasted blueberry + cinnamon puree for dessert.
