As winter comes to an end, we've chosen a hearty classic winter dish from our Babycook Book that's great for Stage 3 Beaba babies. This recipe is packed with protein, and has a healthy amount of veggies too! Good to Know: Not only is beef easy meat for tiny tummies to digest, but it is also an excellent source of iron, zinc, and vitamins B12 and PP (also known as niacin or Vitamin B3). We suggest using leaner cuts of beef, such as freshly ground beef or top sirloin.
