A big favorite amongst South African pie eaters, the Pepper Steak Pie is heaping with tender beef and saucy filling and jam packed with flavor. The Pepper Steak Pie is made with juicy chunks of beef shoulder, caramelized onion, loads of cracked black pepper and fresh thyme, slow braised in a rich dark brandy sauce, encased in a light flaky puff pastry and rich buttery shortcrust pastry base.

We make the hand helds 7" big, filled with 1/4 to 1/3 cup of ingredients. Enough for a large single serving and can be complemented with a salad. The Pot Pies are 5.5" round by 1.75" deep filled 2/3 of a cup to 1 cup of ingredients. Truly enough for a very large appetite plus left overs or serves two to three comfortably especially with a nice side salad.
