Serves 2 + baby

Ingredients
3  whole bell peppers
2/3 of a leek (長ねぎ) or the bottom half
180g  beef slices
Oil
A little bit of salt and pepper

Sauce (A)
1 clove of garlic
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon mirin
2 tablespoon cooking sake (or cooking wine)
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon chicken consomme powder

Prep work
Bell pepper: Clean and cut into 8ths.
Leek: Chop finely.
Beef: Cut into big bite size pieces.
Garlic: Grate finely and add into Sauce (A)

Adult portion:
Heat up the oil in a frying pan and add leeks.  Stirfry until the leeks give off a fragrant smell.  Add the beef and stirfry with the leeks until most of the beef has been cooked.  Next, add the bell pepper and give it a quick stirfry with the beef.  Pour on Sauce (A) and continue to stirfry until the sauce thickens a little.  Add salt and pepper to taste.

Serves best with rice.

baby’s portion:
For ages 9-11 month, take a tablespoon of the chopped leeks and put them in a small pot. Add 3 tablespoons of water and boil at low heat. Boil until the leeks become soft. Add some more water if some of the water has boiled off. Cut the beef into smaller pieces and add a tablespoon into the boiling water. Add a tiny amount of sugar and a few drops of soy sauce and quickly stir. Remove from heat.

For ages 12 and up, increase the portion but cook using the same method.

I like to feed E rice with everything we eat so I mixed her beef with some rice.
