KOREAN BARBECUE-STYLE MEATBALLS



Korean Barbecue-Style Meatballs image

These meatballs, inspired by traditional Korean barbecue, bring the savory-sweet flavors of caramelized meat without the need for a grill. As the meatballs bake, the soy sauce marries the garlic and scallions to create a glaze. This meatball mixture can be made ahead and left to marinate in the fridge for 3 hours or even overnight. Use ground beef that is 85 percent lean meat, 15 percent fat, or 80 percent lean and 20 percent fat for juicier meatballs. The Ritz crackers here make for a more tender meatball, but feel free to substitute plain dry bread crumbs. The meatballs are tasty on their own, but for a simple dipping sauce, combine 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar. Serve over steamed rice with kimchi, or as a sandwich with mayonnaise or marinara sauce.

Provided by Nora from Savory Nothings

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 pound lean ground beef (turkey or pork work too)
1 large onion chopped
2 cloves garlic finely minced
1 scallion finely chopped
1 large egg
3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 handful cilantro chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Oil for baking
1 cup low sodium chicken or beef stock
4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons runny honey
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon dried garlic powder
1-2 scallions finely chopped

Steps:

  • Mix the ingredients: Place all ingredients EXCEPT for the oil in a large bowl. Using a handheld mixer, mix very well until everything is evenly incorporated and sticks together. If you don't have a handheld mixer, you'll have to use your hands to knead the ingredients together very well.
  • Shape meatballs: Using about 1.5 teaspoons of meat mix per meatball, shape meatballs and place them on a lightly oiled baking sheet. For a nicer shape, freeze them for 10 minutes (but this is entirely optional! Just for looks).
  • Bake meatballs: Preheat the oven to 410°F. Bake the meatballs for 10-12 minutes or until browned and no longer pink in the middle.
  • Whisk all ingredients for the sauce together in a large skillet. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Simmer for 2-3 minutes or until thickened. Set aside.
  • Place the baked meatballs in the skillet with the sauce and put it back over low head. Gently toss the meatballs with the sauce until they're nicely glazed.

KOREAN MEATBALLS AND NOODLES



Korean Meatballs and Noodles image

This kalbi meatball recipe, adapted from the cookbook "Koreatown," is easy and quick enough to consider for midweek dinner. It offers the sweetly peppered, deeply satisfying flavors typical of many Korean dishes, and gives new personality to everyday spaghetti and meatballs. My favorite utensil for making ground meat mixtures, by the way, is an old-fashioned potato masher. The book suggests wrapping the meatballs in lettuce, but I tossed them with noodles in a sauce that exploited the brown bits left in the cooking of the meatballs.

Categories     meatballs, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound ground beef, preferably short rib and chuck
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/3 cup chopped peeled Bosc or Asian pear
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 tablespoon grated ginger
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large egg, beaten
1/3 cup dry bread crumbs, preferably whole wheat
6 ounces udon noodles or linguine
2 tablespoons gochujang, or ketchup seasoned with 1 teaspoon hot sauce
3 scallions, trimmed and slant-cut

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Place beef in a bowl.
  • Combine honey, black pepper, sesame oil, vinegar, pear, onion, ginger, soy sauce and half the garlic in a food processor or blender and whirl until well blended. Mix with beef. Add egg and bread crumbs and mix again. Form into 1 1/2-inch balls and arrange on the baking sheet with a bit of space between them. Place in the oven and bake 20 minutes.
  • While meatballs bake, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and boil 5 minutes for udon, about 8 minutes for linguine. Reserve 2/3 cup of the pasta water, then drain pasta.
  • When meatballs are done, transfer them to a bowl and scrape pan juices into a sauté pan. Heat on medium, add remaining garlic and cook briefly until it starts to color. Whisk in gochujang, then pasta water. Simmer about 3 minutes, until sauce reduces and starts to thicken. Reduce heat to low, add noodles and toss in sauce. Add meatballs and mix gently. Transfer to a warm serving dish or individual bowls, scatter with scallions and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef: A mixture of ground chuck and ground sirloin is ideal for Korean BBQ meatballs, as it provides a good balance of flavor and texture.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the meatballs will be. Look for fresh ginger, garlic, and green onions, and use a good-quality soy sauce and sesame oil.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture: Overmixing will make the meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Form the meatballs into uniform size: This will help them cook evenly. Use a small ice cream scoop or a tablespoon to measure out the meatball mixture, then roll it into a ball.
  • Cook the meatballs over medium heat: This will help them cook through without burning. Cook the meatballs for about 10 minutes, or until they are browned on all sides and cooked through.
  • Make the sauce while the meatballs are cooking: This will save time and ensure that the sauce is hot and ready when the meatballs are done.
  • Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds: Enjoy them with rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

These Korean BBQ meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. The meatballs are packed with flavor, thanks to the combination of ground beef, ginger, garlic, and green onions. The sauce is sweet and tangy, with a hint of spice. These meatballs are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
