In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the fennel seeds, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a spice grinder. Process until fine, about 10 seconds; set aside. Grind dry rosemary and whole peppercorns; set aside.
Place cubed meat into a large bowl and season with ground fennel seeds, ground rosemary, mild paprika, smoked paprika, garlic salt, ground mixed peppercorns, red pepper flakes, sea salt, Prague Powder and cayenne pepper; combine until the meat is well coated.
Mix together cold red wine and powdered sugar. Pour half over the meat mixture and stir until the liquid is absorbed; pour on the remaining wine mixture and stir.
Cover with plastic wrap making sure it touches the surface to prevent it from drying out and transfer to the fridge for 24 hours.
Next day, grind the meat. Form a small patty and cook in a skillet to taste the seasoning; adjust if needed. Proceed with links, patties or simply portion the meat and freeze for later use.
