Meat pies come in all shapes and sizes, but one of my favourites is the handheld pepper steak pie.

These pies are often paired with a bottle of Fanta or Coca Cola, an on-the-go snack enjoyed by many Zimbabweans and Southern Africans in general. They are heart-warming, full of flavour, with the perfect kick from the ground peppercorns. This was my attempt to recreate something I grew up eating and will always love, hope you will enjoy them too.
