The classic beef pie is getting a serious upgrade tonight, enough to pull out the fancy plates when you serve up. Beef brisket is wrapped in a blanket of golden filo, with a tomato and red wine jus sauce soaking in as it bakes. Even the pear salad gets a nutty finish with pine nuts sprinkled on top. We think this is a five star pie for sure.

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Place slow-cooked beef brisket in a baking dish. Pour liquid from the packaging over beef. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice pear (see ingredients). • Finely chop onion, carrot, celery and garlic. • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast pine nuts, tossing, until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. • Meanwhile, add the butter to a small heatproof bowl and microwave in 10 second bursts until melted.
• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Add carrot, celery and onion and cook until tender, 5-7 minutes. • Add garlic, tomato paste and mushroom powder (see ingredients) and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium-low, then add red wine jus (see ingredients), beef-style stock powder and the water and cook until slightly reduced, 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove brisket from the oven, then using two forks, pull brisket apart into small pieces. Pour veggie mixture over beef and stir to combine. • Lightly scrunch each sheet of filo pastry and place on top of beef mixture to completely cover. • Gently brush melted butter over to coat. Bake pie until golden, 12-15 minutes.
• When the pie has 2 minutes remaining, add rocket leaves and pear to the bowl with toasted pine nuts. • Add a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season and toss to coat.
• Divide beef brisket and red wine jus filo pie between plates. • Serve with pear and pine nut salad. Enjoy!
