What people is this food reference from?

Question

Some time back whole researching foods like pemmican and jerky, I came across a reference that said during some crusade or travel of some kind, there was a group of people who had a method of taking the meat from a whole cow and shrinking it down to the size of a fist for easy travel, and it wold be shaved to make cups of broth that were very nutritious.

I don't know that I really believe it, but it was the Mongol Empire http://www.thinkeatsave.org/index.php/traditional-and-indigenous-ways-of-preserving-food

Sounds like the original concept of an OXO cube or something similar. Pemmican itself was popular with tribes indigenous to tribes of the great plains. This being the stocking point  of western settlers and exploration in Canada. The only difference being it was the meat from the bison (buffalo) not a cow.

Many people did that. By that time drying meat was pretty common place.
