Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 12 teaspoons sriracha or hot sauce (to taste)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, minced garlic, minced ginger, egg, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Roll the mixture into small meatballs. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
  5. While meatballs bake, prepare the Korean BBQ glaze: In a saucepan, combine gochujang, brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and a bit of water. Simmer over medium heat until slightly thickened.
  6. Once meatballs are out of the oven, toss them in the glaze until fully coated.
  7. Prepare the spicy mayo: Mix mayonnaise with sriracha to taste.
  8. Serve the glazed Korean BBQ meatballs warm with a side of spicy mayo dip, sprinkled with sesame seeds and extra green onions if desired.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute soy sauce with tamari and use gluten-free panko breadcrumbs.
  • Adjust the amount of gochujang and sriracha to control the spice level.
  • Meatballs can be air-fried at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes.
  • Leftover meatballs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
