Cooking Steps

Cook the sweet potato fries
1

• Set air fryer to 200°C. â€¢ Cut sweet potato into fries.
• In a medium bowl, combine sweet potato fries, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.• Place fries into the air fryer basket and cook for 15 minutes. Shake the basket, then cook until golden, a further 10-15 minutes.• Divide fries between serving plates. TIP: No air fryer? Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fanforced. Place fries on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes. TIP: Cook in batches if necessary! 

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, thinly slice brown onion. â€¢ Thinly slice tomato. Little cooks: Don your goggles and have a go at peeling off the onion’s outer layer! 

Caramelise the onion
3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion, stirring regularly, until softened, 5-6 minutes. â€¢ Reduce heat to medium. Add the balsamic vinegar, water and brown sugar, then mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. â€¢ Transfer to a small bowl. 

Heat the ciabatta
4

• When fries are done, place bake-at-home ciabatta
in the air fryer basket and cook until heated through, 
2-3 minutes. TIP: No air fryer? Place ciabatta directly on a wire rack in the oven. Bake until heated through, 5 minutes. 

Cook the beef
5

• While ciabatta is heating, in a second medium bowl, 
combine Italian herbs, a good pinch of salt and 
pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Add beef strips, 
tossing to coat. â€¢ Wipe out frying pan, then return to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. â€¢ When oil is hot, cook beef strips in batches (to keep them tender!), tossing, until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. 

Finish & serve
6

• Slice each ciabatta in half, then spread with creamy 
pesto dressing. â€¢ Top with herby beef, caramelised onion, tomato slices and mixed salad leaves. Top with other ciabatta half. â€¢ Serve with sweet potato fries. Enjoy! Little cooks: Take the lead and help build the subs!
