Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Preheat oven to 220ºC/200ºC fan-forced. 
• Grate the carrot. 
• Finely chop garlic. 
• Pick and finely chop rosemary. 


Little cooks: Help pick the rosemary leaves from the stems!

Cook the filling
2

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook sliced leek and carrot, stirring, until softened, 4-6 minutes. 
• Add beef mince and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes. 
• Add garlic and rosemary and cook, stirring until fragrant, 1 minute. 
• Reduce heat to medium, then add tomato paste, the water and chicken-style stock powder and cook, stirring, until reduced, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 


TIP: Add a dash more water if the mince is dry! 

Add the cheese
3

• Transfer beef mixture to a baking dish, then sprinkle over grated Parmesan cheese. 


Little cooks: Take the lead by sprinkling the cheese on top. Careful, the filling is hot! 

Bake the pie
4

• Add the butter to a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 10 second bursts until melted. 
• Brush each sheet of filo pastry with the melted butter. Lightly scrunch each sheet of pastry and place on top of the beef mixture to completely cover. 
• Bake pie until the pastry is golden, 15-20 minutes. 

Make the salad
5

• While the pie is baking, roughly chop cucumber. 
• In a medium bowl, combine mixed salad leaves, cucumber and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste. 


Little cooks: Help combine all the ingredients for the salad!

Finish & serve
6

• Divide cheesy beef and filo pastry pie between plates. Serve with cucumber and balsamic salad. Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Tasty and enjoyable, though some found the meat needed extra seasoning for more flavour.
  • Ease of prep: Brushing filo pastry sheets with oil was time-consuming and required care to avoid tearing.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding extra seasoning to the meat mixture for a more flavourful result.
