Beef Puree
What you need:
- About 1 lb beef, tender and lean, cut in 1" pieces (about 500 gr. cut in 2.5 cm pieces)
- 1 celery stick, chopped
- 3 carrots peeled and diced 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut in 1/4
- 1 Tbsp**(15 ml) minced onion
How to prepare:
- Put the meat in about 1 cup (250 ml) of water in a saucepan and simmer for 45 minutes
- Add celery, carrots, potato and onion. Cook for 35 minutes or until veggies are tender
- Take off heat and let cool a few minutes
- Discard vegetables
- Put about 3/4 cup (200**ml) of the meat in the blender with 1/3 cup (80 ml) of the cooking water. Puree until smooth. Repeat with the remainder of the meat.
- Place in ice cube tray and freeze.
Handy hint: You can use the veggies in a soup or sauce for the rest of the family if you wish by pureeing them with the remainder of the cooking water which you didn't use to puree the beef. You can use Veal instead of beef in this recipe.
