Just made it today for my 8 months old baby. Can't wait to serve it tomorrow :) I replaced the butter with olive oil because I suspected a cow's milk allergy on her (not yet diagnosed and omitted the mushrooms (not sure they are age appropriate).

 

Hi, I've got a 2.5 year old little boy and never been told that mushrooms aren't appropriate. I think anything natural is fine for a baby to eat xx

 

I see no reason why this meal cannot be frozen. I have frozen other beef dishes in the past.

 

can this be frozen?

 

Awsome recipe, my daughter loves it, although I had to switch the sweet potato for butternut squash as that's what I had! thanks!

 

I just used frying steak, worked just as well!

 

can i use minute steak instead?

 

I too am excited at trying this!! My little boy only nearing 5 months, so will have to wait a bit yet :-)

 

I am looking forward to making my children exciting new food.

 

this is the most beautiful dish and so easy to make, my husband thought it was our dinner! I made this as my daughters first into to beef and she gobbled it up! She has not once refused it, I recommend it highly.
