Description
A sweet and savory fusion dish that elevates classic meatloaf with a homemade teriyaki glaze for maximum flavor.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup light soy sauce
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 1½ teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 2 lbs lean ground beef (85/15)
- 1 small white onion, finely chopped
- 4 slices bread, torn into small pieces
- 3 large eggs
- ¾ cup milk (whole or 2%)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and position the rack in the middle or lower middle section. Place a large baking sheet under your loaf pan to catch any drips.
- In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, ground ginger, and black pepper until the sugar dissolves completely. Set aside one-third of the sauce for glazing.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, torn bread pieces, eggs, milk, and minced garlic. Mix in the larger portion of the teriyaki sauce until thoroughly combined.
- Press the meat mixture into a greased loaf pan or shape into a free-standing loaf in a 13×9 inch baking dish. Pour the reserved sauce over the top.
- Bake for 1 to 1.5 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and the meat is cooked through.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Serve with steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables. For extra flavor, garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
