Mix the meat strips with salt and spices thoroughly.

Place the mixture in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours until semi-frozen.

Grind the semi-frozen meat using a meat grinder with the finest perforated disc, optionally grinding it twice for a finer texture.

Add the salt and cutter phosphate to the ground meat in the food processor.

While processing, continuously add crushed ice until the mixture is very consistent and fine.

Reduce the oven temperature to 120°C (248°F) and bake for an additional hour.

Let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing, or cut into it directly if desired.
