Tasty beef and vege pot pies

Instructions

1 Heat oil in a heavy-based pot over a medium heat. Add beef (in batches if necessary) and cook until browned. Remove from pot and set aside.

2 Add onion and garlic to pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add beef back to pot along with carrots, stock, wine, tomatoes, paprika, soy and sugar. Bring to a boil. Simmer, covered, for about 2 hours, or until beef is tender and soft. Add beans, spinach and chilli to the pot and cook until beans are tender, about 5 minutes.

3 Preheat oven to 190°C. Spoon beef into 6 small pie dishes. Take the filo sheets, 2 sheets at a time, and cut into quarters. Scrunch the quarters together. Lay over the filling. Spray with oil.

4 Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until pastry is golden and crisp. Serve pies with kumara and broccoli.
