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.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of meats. This will give your meatballs a more complex flavor. Ground beef, pork, lamb, and veal are all good options.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing can make the meatballs tough.
  • Use Panko bread crumbs. Panko bread crumbs will help keep the meatballs moist and juicy.
  • Chill the meatball mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help the meatballs hold their shape.
  • Cook the meatballs over indirect heat. This will help prevent them from burning.
  • Use a meat thermometer to make sure the meatballs are cooked through. The internal temperature of the meatballs should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce. Barbecue sauce, tomato sauce, or marinara sauce are all good options.

Conclusion:

Barbecue meatballs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give barbecue meatballs a try. You won't be disappointed!
