Main Ingredients- Beef 50g (lean cut recommended, e.g., round steak)
- Radish 80g
- Scallion (white part) 50g
- Baby Broth (kelp or anchovy broth) 150ml
- Sesame seeds, a pinch (0.1 tsp)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the foundation for a delicious meal: the broth. Make about 150ml of clear broth using a broth bag or kelp. For the beef, choose a lean cut like round steak, suitable for babies, and pat it gently with paper towels to remove excess blood before use. Wash and prepare the radish and scallions.
Step 2
Finely julienne the prepared radish and scallions. This will ensure they cook down to a tender texture that’s easy for your baby to eat, while the radish adds sweetness and the scallions provide a subtle aroma.
Step 3
Now, let’s start stir-frying. In a pot or pan, add the 150ml of baby broth and the julienned radish and scallions. Turn the heat to medium on the stove and begin cooking.
Step 4
Once the broth with radish and scallions starts to simmer, cook over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until the radish begins to turn slightly translucent. Then, add the prepared beef.
Step 5
Continue cooking over medium heat after adding the beef. It’s important to stir-fry until the broth is mostly reduced and the flavors have penetrated the ingredients. Be careful not to use heat that’s too high, as it can cause burning.
Step 6
When all ingredients are tender and the broth has reduced to a desirable consistency, your delicious Beef, Radish, and Scallion Stir-fry is ready! Ensure the dish is at a safe temperature for your baby before transferring it to a serving bowl. Finally, sprinkle a tiny pinch (0.1 tsp) of sesame seeds for a visually appealing finish and a nutty flavor.
