I chopped up some London Broil in a KitchenAid food processor the other day. Ten pulses on twenty cubes. With Italian spices and some anchovies. It tasted just like ground beef except fresher! Then I added an egg and some pepper, and a little bread, and water, and made meatballs. They were great.
Then I heard Mark Bittman say, in a Lamb Meatball video, "Always grind your own meat!" Many years ago he had written a whole column about grinding.
The same day, I chopped up some half frozen white bread (after I washed the food processor of course!). Five pulses on twenty chunks. They turned Panko! Just like all the pictures. I dried them out in a warm oven. I call them Hanky Panky breadcrumbs because they are not really Japanese.
I like grinding my own. I posted the breadcrumbs because ground meat pictures are too gross to post.
