Description
Prepare easy meatballs coated in a sweet and savory teriyaki sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, ginger, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until cooked through.
- While the meatballs bake, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, whisk together teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Whisk the slurry into the simmering sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
- Remove the meatballs from the oven. Place the cooked meatballs in a large skillet or bowl. Pour the thickened teriyaki sauce over the meatballs and toss gently to coat completely.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or pork for the ground beef.
- For a thicker glaze, increase the cornstarch slightly.
- Serve these meatballs over rice or with toothpicks as an appetizer.
