Let your toddler pick out the steak pieces from the lettuce cups

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp light oil, such as groundnut, for frying

  • 100g fillet or rump steak, cut into bite-sized slivers

  • 4 iceberg or little gem lettuce leaves

  • ¼ cucumber, cut into small cubes

  • small handful of radishes, thinly sliced lengthways

  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced

  • small handful of coriander, chopped

  • salt and black pepper

  • TERIYAKI SAUCE

  • 3 tbsp mirin

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp sugar or sugar alternative

  • 2 tsp rice vinegar

  • 1 tsp cornflour

  • 20g or 4cm fresh root ginger, grated

There’s no need for knives and forks when eating these – you can roll the filled lettuce leaves into mini bundles and eat using your fingers so they're perfect for kids. Serve them as a starter, a filling snack or as canapés

  1. First make the sauce. Put all the ingredients into a small saucepan and stir well. Bring to the boil and bubble for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly, to reduce and form a thick syrup.

  2. Heat a frying pan until really hot. Add the oil, then stir-fry the steak pieces for just a few minutes so that they are still pink inside (cook through completely if serving to children or pregnant women).

  3. Transfer to a plate and season well with salt and pepper.

  4. Put the lettuce leaves on a serving plate and fill with the cucumber, radishes, onion and coriander. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. Add the steak pieces, pour the sauce over them and serve.
