Servings: 16 pieces
Calories: 388kcal
Ingredients
- 454 grams dry, ground meat
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 tablespoons herbs and spices optional
- 454 grams beef tallow melted
Instructions
- Melt the tallow in an oven-safe container or double boiler over medium-low heat. At 350 °F/175° C, it takes about 10 minutes in the oven
- Combine the meat, salt, and optional herbs and spices in a bowl.
- Once the tallow is melted, but not too hot, pour over the dry material and combine well. There should be just enough tallow to moisten all the meat but not make puddles. If the fat does not completely incorporate the dry meat, add a little more. Mix well.
- Transfer into an 8x8-inch baking dish to set. Then score into squares and store in an airtight container.
Notes
See notes in text above the best way to dry meat.
In place of cutting into squares, it is also possible to roll the mixture in your hands like a meatball and form small balls.
Silicon molds and standard or mini muffin size pans are also useful for forming uniform shaped pieces. Chocolate or soap molds can both be used for this purpose if they have a shape you like.
