Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger
  • For the Korean BBQ Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, minced garlic, egg, soy sauce, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Mix until just combined.
  3. Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake the meatballs for 15-18 minutes, or until cooked through and browned.
  5. While the meatballs bake, prepare the Korean BBQ sauce: In a small saucepan, combine gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Once meatballs are cooked, toss them gently in the warm Korean BBQ sauce until evenly coated.
  7. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
