Ingredients
250 g ground beef
250 g ground pork
½ cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon brown sugar
⅓ cup Korean BBQ sauce
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sriracha
2 stalks green onions sliced
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
1. Combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar in a large bowl.
Mix just until combined. Scoop and roll the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs. Place on a lined baking sheet. Bake meatballs at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
Brush meatballs with Korean BBQ sauce and return to oven for 5 minutes to caramelize.
In a bowl, mix mayonnaise and sriracha to make the spicy mayo dip.
Adjust spice level to taste.
Arrange meatballs on a platter, drizzle with extra glaze, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, and serve with the spicy mayo dip.
Notes
Use a beef and pork blend for maximum juiciness. Don’t overmix the meat to keep the meatballs tender. Make the spicy mayo ahead and chill for better flavor.
