Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1.5 pounds (680 grams) ground beef
Aromatics and Seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
Binding and Texture Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Garnish:
- 1 tablespoon green onions, sliced
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375F (190C) and lightly coat a loaf pan with cooking spray or oil.
- In a spacious mixing vessel, thoroughly blend ground beef with aromatic seasonings including sesame oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, gochujang, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, whisked egg, and panko breadcrumbs.
- Knead the mixture until ingredients are evenly distributed and ingredients form a cohesive texture.
- Carefully mold the meat mixture into a uniform loaf shape and nestle it into the prepared pan.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven and roast for 40-45 minutes, monitoring until the surface turns golden brown and internal temperature reaches 160F.
- During the final 10 minutes of cooking, delicately brush a vibrant glaze of gochujang and honey across the meatloaf’s surface to create a glistening, caramelized coating.
- Extract the meatloaf from the oven and allow it to settle for 5 minutes, enabling juices to redistribute and ensuring a moist, tender result.
- Slice the meatloaf into generous portions and embellish with thinly sliced green onions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for a final flourish.
Notes
- Choose high-quality ground beef with moderate fat content for juicier, more flavorful meatloaf.
- Mix ingredients gently to prevent dense, tough texture and maintain tender consistency.
- Glaze sparingly to control heat and sweetness, adjusting gochujang and honey ratios for personal preference.
- Use fresh garlic and ginger for more vibrant, authentic Korean flavor profile.
