Sweet & Spicy Korean BBQ Meatloaf

1 ½ pounds ground beef

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon sesame oil

¼ cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons brown sugar

2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)

1 teaspoon garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ginger, minced

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 egg

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 tablespoon green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a loaf pan.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, sesame oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, gochujang, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, egg, and panko breadcrumbs.

Mix everything together until well combined, then shape the mixture into a loaf and transfer it to the prepared loaf pan.

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the meatloaf is fully cooked through and browned on top.

In the last 10 minutes of baking, brush a little extra gochujang and honey over the meatloaf for a sweet and spicy glaze.

Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
