Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef, cooking until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper, ½ teaspoon of ground cumin, and 2 tablespoons of tomato paste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to blend flavors before removing from heat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup of melted butter, ½ cup of olive oil, 1 cup of milk, 1 egg, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper until fully combined.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Start layering your phyllo pastry sheets in a 9x13 casserole pan, placing 5-6 sheets, brushing each with the pastry mixture. Create at least 6 layers for the base.
  4. Evenly spread the cooked beef filling over the phyllo layers, using a spatula to ensure it's well-distributed.
  5. Add 5-6 more phyllo sheets on top of the beef filling, brushing each with the pastry mixture. Tuck in any excess phyllo sheets around the edges for a clean presentation.
  6. Carefully place the assembled Phyllo Meat Pie in the preheated oven, baking for about 50 minutes until the top is golden brown.
  7. Allow the Phyllo Meat Pie to cool for about 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
