Beef Brisket Pie with ETA BBQ Sauce
Method
Step 1
Cut the beef into cubes. Once the fillets have been sliced, place in a bowl and put aside.
Step 2
Thinly slice the onions and carrots, and dice the celery into small cubes. Smash the garlic and dice finely. Then mix all the vegetables together in a bowl.
Step 3
Over the stovetop on medium-high heat, bring the olive oil to a simmer in a casserole dish. Add the beef to the pan and turn occasionally until all sides are golden brown. This process could take between four to six minutes, depending on the heat of your stove. Once the beef has cooked, remove it from the pan and place to the side.

Step 4
Add the vegetables and butter to the heated pan for 15 minutes or until they become caramelised. Don’t forget to occasionally stir the ingredients, so it doesn’t stick to the pan. Pour the caramelised vegetables, herbs, beef stock, wine and browned beef brisket into an oven dish and cover tightly with baking paper. Place the filling in the preheated oven at 150 degrees and cook until the beef is tender, so roughly for two hours.
Step 5
While the beef cooks in the oven, lay the Pampas Puff Pastry out on a White Wings Floured bench and cut out lids for the pie, using a circular cutter. In a smaller dish, whisk the egg and cream together to create an egg wash. By using cream in the wash, it creates a shine to the dish once it has been cooked in the oven.
Step 6
Once the beef mixture has cooked through, divide it into singular pie dishes, filling them up to the top. Brush a light layer of the egg wash around the edge of the dish, to act like glue for the pastry. Gently place the pastry over the top of the dish and pinch the edges down. Brush the pastry with the egg wash, and then pierce a couple of holes on top, to allow steam to escape during baking. Bake the pies for 15 to 20 minutes or until the pastry turns golden. Serve with a drizzle of ETA BBQ Sauce, for an extra hit of flavour.

WHAT IS A RECIPE CALCULATOR?
A recipe calculator works out what a dish costs to make and what it needs to sell for to turn a profit. Some tools under that name are really a recipe converter, turning ounces and teaspoons into metric, or a recipe multiplier that scales quantities up or down, or a nutrition calculator returning the energy and carbohydrate count per serve. Ours is a recipe cost calculator. Enter your ingredient costs and servings, and you get a total cost, a cost per serve, and the margin behind your selling price.
HOW TO USE OUR RECIPE CALCULATOR
Enter your recipe name, method and serving size, and the number of servings the recipe makes.
Select “+ Add Ingredient” to build your ingredient list, then enter the quantity purchased and cost of goods for each item.
Enter the quantity your recipe actually uses for each ingredient, in grams, millilitres or each.
Select Calculate to see your total cost across the batch, plus the same figure with GST added and your cost per serve. This is where the calculator divides your total batch cost by your number of servings, converting it into a cost per portion.
Enter a Selling Price per serve to see your Food Gross Profit, Food Markup percentage and Total Generated Profit.
WHY FOODSERVICE BUSINESSES USE OUR RECIPE CALCULATOR
Cafes and quick service kitchens change their menus often, and costing a new dish properly before it launches matters more than costing it quickly. Catering and events businesses price the same recipe at different scales throughout the year, a function for ten one week and an event for two hundred the next. Enter the servings for each job, and the calculator handles that recipe scaling without you reworking your ingredient list from scratch.
Bakeries producing large batches need to know the per-unit cost still holds as bakery ingredient prices shift. Contract caterers working to a fixed per-meal budget, such as aged care or education providers, can check a recipe against that budget before it goes into a wider meal planner or seasonal menu.
Across all of these, the value is the same. You get a cost per serve and a margin you can trust, built from your actual supplier pricing rather than an estimate.

WHAT MAKES OUR RECIPE CALCULATOR DIFFERENT
Most recipe cost calculators are standalone software with no link to where you actually buy. Ours sits within Goodman Fielder Food Service, a foodservice supplier. Once you’ve priced a recipe and know your numbers, you’re already talking to the team that supplies the ingredients themselves. If a margin looks tighter than expected, that’s a conversation about ingredient pricing you can have straight away.
