Easy Beef Teriyaki Meatballs Recipe


INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup panko or hamemade breadcrumbs
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons worchestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup milk (almond milk for dairy free)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Teriyaki Sauce:

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1-2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

Meatballs:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 C) and line a baking tray with foil. Combine all ingredients for meatballs in a large, preferably stainless steel, bowl and mix well with a large spoon or clean hands.
  2. Form mixture into balls, about 2 inch, and place them on prepared tray. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until fully cooked, (cut one meatball open to test for doneness).

Sauce:

  1. While meatballs are baking make the sauce. Whisk soy sauce and cornstarch in a small bowl and set aside. Combine garlic, ginger, and sesame oil in a wok or medium saucepan over high heat. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until browned and fragrant.
  2. Reduce heat to medium low then add soy/cornstarch and all remaining ingredients (including chili garlic sauce if you'd like a mild kick). Stir gently until the sauce has thickened, then remove from heat. If the sauce gets too thick you can always add more water.
  3. Add cooked meatballs to saucepan and toss to coat. However if you aren't in a hurry the meatballs are best when you let them simmer in the sauce for a while, about 1 hour.
  4. Serve as an appetizer or with rice and desired sides.

Notes:
You can make these ahead of time and freeze for a quick weeknight dinner.
