Nonna's Beef Tacos

In a medium frying pan, heat a good drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the red onion and cook, stirring, for 5-6 minutes, or until softened. Add the balsamic vinegar, warm water and brown sugar, and simmer for 3-5 minutes or until the liquid is nearly evaporated and the mixture is slightly sticky. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.

While the onions are 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. Mix well.

In a second medium frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. When the oil is hot, add 1/3 of the beef strips and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a medium bowl and repeat with remaining beef. TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over a high heat allows it to brown and develop flavour, making it more tender.

Heat the mini flour tortillas in a sandwich press or on a plate in the microwave for 10 second bursts, or until warmed through.
