Either use ground spices or freshly grind in spice grinder.
Cut the meat into 1" cubes, arrange them on a tray, and freeze for 15 mins.
Remove the meat from the freezer and put it through the smallest plate of the meat grinder.
Preheat the oven to 320˚F (160˚C).
Add the ground meat and spices to the bowl of a stand mixer and mix it well. Gradually, add the crushed ice or ice water. Continue mixing until the mixture is soft and homogenous.
Generously grease a 9"x5" loaf pan.
Add small portions of the meat mixture to the loaf pan and press each batch down to prevent big holes.
Optional: score the top in a diamond pattern.
Bake the Leberkaese for 90 mins or until golden brown. The internal temperature should be 172˚F (78˚C).
