Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (preferably chuck for juiciness)
- 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Assorted vegetables for roasting (bell peppers, zucchini, carrots)
- Olive oil for roasting
- Fresh cilantro and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, panko bread crumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Form the mixture into evenly sized meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake meatballs for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and slightly caramelized on the outside.
- While meatballs bake, toss assorted vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and caramelized.
- Once cooked, toss meatballs in a bowl with additional Korean-style sauce (soy, sesame, ginger). Arrange roasted vegetables on a serving platter, top with glazed meatballs, and garnish with cilantro and sesame seeds.
Notes
- Use high-quality ground beef for best flavor and juiciness.
- Can be prepared a day ahead; refrigerate assembled meatballs before baking.
- Adjust spice level by increasing red pepper flakes or adding chopped jalapeños.
- Serve over rice or in lettuce wraps for a low-carb option.
- Garnish with extra sesame seeds and fresh herbs for an authentic touch.
