Mix maize meal with an array of spices in a bowl.

Add water gradually and mix until combined.

Cook the mixture over medium to high heat until it thickens, using a whisk to incorporate flavors.

Once thickened, let it cool slightly before forming into balls.

Form small balls from the mixture, about the size of a golf ball.

Coat the balls lightly with additional maize meal for a crispy layer.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet until hot.

Shallow fry the balls until golden brown, checking the oil temperature before adding them.

Cook the steak while the sadza bites are frying, ensuring both are ready to serve together.
