Smokey Beef & Caramelised Onion Filo Pie

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

• Wipe out frying pan and return to medium-high 
heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add beef mince
and celery and cook, breaking up with a spoon,
4-5 minutes.
• Add tomato and baby spinach and cook until 
tender, 3-4 minutes. 

• SPICY! This is a mild spice blend, but use less if 
you’re sensitive to heat! Add All-American spice 
blend, tomato paste and garlic and cook, 
stirring until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Add the water and cook until slightly thickened, 
1-2 minutes. Stir through caramelised onion
and season with salt and pepper to taste. 

• In a small microwave-safe bowl, microwave the 
butter in 10 second bursts until melted.
• Transfer beef filling to a baking dish.
• Lightly scrunch each sheet of filo pastry 
(see ingredients) and place on top of beef
mixture to completely cover.
• Gently brush melted butter over to coat. 
• Bake pie until the pastry is golden, 
15-20 minutes. 
Little cooks: Take the lead by scrunching the filo 
pastry over the beef mixture!
