Steak for baby


 We made a well done flank steak as pictured for Grandson C when they were visiting.  The thing is we had tried a piece of rib steak days earlier and he seemed to like that more but it seemed to break off more easily which is not good for babies.  Well done flank is generally quite tough. It was not a success.

Kids can be so unpredictable with food! The steak looks great, but yes, textures really matter for little ones. Hope the next try is a bigger hit!

I am glad you all are introducing him to so many new foods. It is always an adventure.

Flank steak might be more appreciated if it was chopped up in a food processor.

Thanks for the great idea Kathy, we threw that piece of flank out.

It's always an adventure with the little ones.

I agree it is a good thing to introduce him to all kinds of food. Have a great day.

How old is he now? I agree that a good food processor can be invaluable.

Wie alt ist das Baby? Ich gebe meinen kleinen Enkeln immer alles püriert.

Grandson C is almost 6 months old

A well-done flank steak didn’t work out as hoped for little C, especially compared with the softer rib steak, which he liked more but wasn’t ideal for a baby since it broke apart too easily

I know over the years food guidelines for babies and children has and does change ...

Your post made me curious and I checked what the UK's NHS guidelines, for babies is regarding beef.

Apparently they can eat beef from around six months, when they start solid foods, and it’s actually one of the first meats recommended due to its high iron content, which babies need more of once their iron stores begin to run low after birth.

But beef must be cooked thoroughly and served in a soft texture suited to your baby’s age and chewing ability.

Isn't blogging great you never know what you will read and learn.

Enjoy the rest of your Tuesday, it will soon be time for your Wednesday Memes :)

All the best Jan

Christine said...

The baby is almost 6 months old he sucks on a piece and gets the nutrients that way.

That was so nice of Jan to do that. She rocks. Here's to a better go next time for your kiddo's kiddo.

I bet the time will come when he'll love a good steak, unless he ends up being a veggie eater.
