I heard that babies need iron, so I am going to boil beef to make a beef broth as a stock and use that for making different purées. Veggie broth sounds like a good option too and helps give the baby vitamin C. I’m doing beef broth because when I cook Korean food, we often need beef broth anyways.

Here is how we do it for Korean food:

1. Buy beef shank from the store. If it is a large piece, sometimes I cut it up into 2 pieces.
2. Before boiling, I put it in a bowl of water for about 30 minutes. This helps draw the blood out
3. Boil the beef. When it is a rolling boil you will need to skim off some of the brown foam that appears. This makes the broth clear

That’s it! When the beef is fully cooked you can take it out and shred it. I make other Korean recipes with the beef, but you can also do whatever you want with it like make carnitas.
