Description
A delightful twist on classic meatloaf, infused with bold Korean flavors and a spicy, savory glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
- 1 large onion (finely diced)
- 8 cloves garlic (crushed)
- 2 tbsp gochujang
- 5 green onions (minced)
- 2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
- 3 tbsp apricot jam
- 2 tbsp gochujang
- 1 tbsp rice apple vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp granulated garlic powder (or 2 cloves garlic, minced)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Sauté the diced onion in vegetable oil until translucent. Add crushed garlic and cook for another two minutes.
- Combine the cooled onion mixture with minced green onions, gochujang, beaten eggs, and a pinch of salt.
- Mix the ground beef with panko breadcrumbs and the onion-gochujang mixture until just combined.
- Shape the mixture into a loaf, either in a loaf pan or freeform on a baking sheet. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
- Glaze by mixing all glaze ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Spoon generously over the meatloaf and return to the oven until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C), about 10-15 minutes more.
Notes
Let the onion and garlic mixture cool completely before adding to the beef for better moisture retention.
