Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup carrot, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, grated carrot, minced garlic, gochujang, soy sauce, and the egg. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Step 3: Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan and shape it into a loaf, smoothing the top for even cooking.
- Step 4: In a small bowl, mix together additional gochujang with a bit of honey or brown sugar to create a glaze. Brush this glaze over the top of the meatloaf.
- Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). Let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For optimal storage, wrap any leftover Korean meatloaf tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer preservation. When reheating, slice the meatloaf and warm it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes to maintain its moisture and flavor. For a delightful serving suggestion, pair the meatloaf with steamed rice and sautéed vegetables, drizzling extra gochujang glaze on top for an added kick. As a chef's tip, feel free to customize your meatloaf by adding chopped green onions or bell peppers for extra flavor and texture!
