Teriyaki Meatballs

These juicy, tender meatballs are smothered with a sweet Teriyaki glaze!

INGREDIENTS
1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 cup Panko
2 Tbsp fresh ginger (finely chopped)
½ cup red onion (finely chopped)
1 large egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp cilantro (fresh), finely chopped, plus more for garnish
Sesame seeds, for garnish


FOR THE TERIYAKI SAUCE
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger (finely chopped)

INSTRUCTIONS


Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, sesame oil, Panko, onion, ginger, egg, garlic and cilantro. Using a wooden spoon or clean hands, stir until well combined. Roll the mixture into 1 1/4-to-1 1/2-inch meatballs, forming about 18-20 meatballs.

Place meatballs onto prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until all sides are browned and meatballs are cooked through.

To make the teriyaki sauce, whisk together teriyaki sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic and ginger in a small bowl.

Once meatballs have finished cooking, place meatballs in a 9x13 baking dish and pour the sauce over the meatballs and gently stir them until covered and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes at reduced heat of 350 degrees.
Serve warm as an appetizer or over rice as a main course. Sprinkle with additional garnish if desired.
