Description

Juicy Korean BBQ meatballs with a spicy mayo dip bring a burst of flavor to any gathering.


Ingredients

  • 500g ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
  • Extra green onions for garnish


Instructions

  1. Combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and gochujang in a large bowl until just combined.
  2. Shape the mixture into meatballs, around 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
  3. Heat a skillet with oil over medium-high heat and sear the meatballs on all sides until browned, roughly 3-5 minutes.
  4. Transfer the browned meatballs into a baking dish.
  5. Mix together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and more gochujang in a separate bowl. Pour the glaze over the meatballs.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes or until fully cooked and caramelized.
  7. Mix mayonnaise and sriracha in a separate bowl. Adjust for desired spice.
  8. Serve the meatballs with the spicy mayo dip, garnished with sesame seeds and additional green onions.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to ensure meatballs are fully cooked (internal temperature of 160°F or 71°C).
