Sesame oil – 1 tbsp
Crushed garlic – 1 clove
Ginger small bit shredded
Carrots cut in thin strips – 1
Baby sweet corn cut in quarters – 100 gms
Deseeded red and yellow bell peppers cut in thin strips – 1 cup

Beef fillet, cooked and cut into thin strips across the grain – 300 gms
Soy sauce – 2 tbsp
Dark brown sugar – 2 tbsp
Heat oil in a wok, add the garlic, ginger and vegetables and stir fry for a couple of minutes or till the vegetables wilt a bit. Now add the beef strips and stir in the flavors for 3-4 minutes. Add in the beef stock, soy sauce and sugar. Stir till the stock thickens and coats the vegetables and beef. Your beef stir fry is ready.
You can serve this with steamed rice or plain noodles. If your baby can handle extra flavors, you could add in a few drops of Tabasco sauce. We have avoided the use of cornflour to thicken the stock as most babies are averse to it. You could add a teaspoon of it to the stock if required.
