Nonna's Beef Tacos
with Caramelised Onion & Creamy Pesto
OK, we may be getting a little cheeky with this one, but we know Nonna is all about bringing people around the table to enjoy a meal of wonderful flavours. So when tender herby beef strips, creamy pesto and caramelised onion come together in DIY tacos, we think Nonna would approve.

Instructions
Thinly slice the red onion. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Shred the cos lettuce. Finely chop the tomato.
In a medium frying pan, heat a good drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 5-6 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar, warm water and brown sugar, then stir to combine. Cook, stirring often, until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
While the onion is caramelising, combine the garlic, beef strips and Italian herbs in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with the salt and a pinch of pepper, then mix to combine.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. When the oil is hot, add 1/2 the beef strips and cook until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and repeat with remaining beef.
TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over a high heat helps it brown and stay tender.
Heat the mini flour tortillas in a sandwich press, or on a plate in the microwave for 10 second bursts, until warmed through.
Take everything to the table to serve. Build your tacos by spreading the tortillas with creamy pesto dressing and filling with the cos lettuce, tomato, beef and caramelised onion.
