TEST KITCHEN'S FAVORITE ALL-BEEF MEATLOAF

This classic meatloaf uses coarsely ground beef for a juicer bite. It's brushed with the essential brown sugar-ketchup glaze and baked on a sheet pan, not in a loaf pan, so it has more caramelized crust for everyone.

Yield 1 meatloaf

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 slices day old white bread, torn into small pieces or 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs, preferably homemade
1 yellow onion, finely chopped (3/4 cup)
1 medium carrot, finely chopped (3/4 cup)
1 rib celery, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
3/4 cup ketchup
2 pounds 85% lean ground chuck
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon light brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Tear bread into pieces; pulse in a food processor to make fine crumbs (or use plain breadcrumbs) set aside.
  • Cook the Vegetables:Pulse vegetables in food processor until finely chopped (or do so by hand). Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add vegetables, thyme, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt to skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables have softened, about 8 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, broth, and 1/4 cup ketchup. Remove from heat; let cool completely.
  • Prep the Meat and Glaze: In a small bowl, stir together remaining 1/2 cup ketchup and the brown sugar for glaze; set aside. In a large bowl, combine vegetable mixture with ground chuck, egg, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper. Mix with your hands until well combined.
  • Bake and Let Cool:On a rimmed baking sheet, form meat mixture into a loaf that's 10 inches long, 4 inches wide, and 2 inches high, packing firmly to prevent cracking. Coat top and sides with glaze. Bake until top is caramelized and a thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 165 degrees, 55 to 65 minutes. (If top is browning too quickly, tent with foil.) Let cool at least 25 minutes, then serve with comforting sides, like mashed potatoes. and sauteed broccolini.

Yield 6-8 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

MEAT LOAF
3 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, grated on the small holes of a box grater (about 1 cup)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped fine (about 1 cup)
1 medium celery rib, chopped fine (about 1/2 cup)
1 medium garlic clove, minced or pressed through a garlic press (about 1 teaspoon)
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 cup tomato juice
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon unflavored powdered gelatin
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2/3 cup crushed saltines
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound ground sirloin
1 pound ground chuck
GLAZE
1/2 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
½ teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 cup cider vinegar
3 tablespoons light brown sugar

Steps:

  • 1. MEAT LOAF: Adjust oven rack to middle position. Heat oven to 375F. Spread cheese on a plate and place in freezer until ready to use. To prepare baking sheet, set a metal cooling rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Fold a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil to form a 10" by 6" rectangle. Center foil on cooling rack and poke holes in foil with a skewer (about 1/2" apart). Spray foil with nonstick cooking spray. 2. Heat butter in 10" skillet over med-hi until foaming; add onion and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, 6 to 8 mins. Add garlic, thyme, and paprika and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 min. Reduce heat to low, add tomato juice. Cook, stirring to scrape up browned bits from pan, until thickened, about 1 min. Transfer mixture to small bowl and set aside to cool. 3. Whisk broth and eggs in large bowl until combined. Sprinkle gelatin over liquid and let stand 5 mins. Stir in soy sauce, mustard, saltines, parsley, salt, pepper, and onion mixture. Crumble frozen cheese into a coarse powder and sprinkle over mixture. Add ground beef; mix gently with your hands until thoroughly combined, about 1 min. Transfer the meat to foil and shape into a 10" by 6" oval about 2" high. Smooth top and edges of meatloaf with a moistened spatula. Bake until instant-read thermometer reads 135F-140F, 55-65 mins. Remove meat loaf from oven and turn on the broiler. 4. For glaze: While meatloaf cooks, combine ingredients for glaze in a small saucepan; bring to simmer over med heat and cook, stirring, until thick and syrupy, about 5 mins. Spread half of glaze evenly over cooked meatloaf with a rubber spatula; place under broiler and cook until glaze bubbles and begins to brown at edges, about 5 mins. Remove the meatloaf from oven and spread evenly with remaining glaze; place back under broiler and cook until glaze is again bubbling and beginning to brown, about 5 mins more. Let meatloaf cool about 20 mins before slicing.

ALL BEEF MEATLOAF



All Beef Meatloaf image

I rotate meatloaf recipes. This one is all beef... the other two are a mixture of beef and pork or beef, pork and veal. I like to serve it with scalloped potatoes. The timing & oven temperature work out perfectly for an easy meal. Mix up the meatloaf, set the timimer for the first 15 minutes-by that time the potatoes are ready to go in as well. Then they both cook for an hour and can be served with your favourite veg... we usually go for something green, broccoli, peas,green beans, broccolini or asparagus are all good choices. The recipe is a combination of 4 different recipes with a couple of my own twists and changes...like the herbes de Provence and the ground ancho and tobasco. Mum started adding horseradish to her meatloaf and since it goes so well with beef I picked that addition up from her.
