Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup chopped green onion
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh minced ginger
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 1/2 cups teriyaki sauce*
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line a large baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs green onion, eggs, sesame oil, ginger, salt, garlic, and pepper. Use your hands to gently combine.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. (I like to use a 1 1/2 inch cookie scoop to keep them uniform. You should get about 38 meatballs. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the meatballs are golden brown and cooked through, about 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and transfer the meatballs to a large bowl. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the top of the meatballs and stir gently to coat the meatballs in the sauce.
- Serve as an appetizer, or over rice or potatoes.
Recipe Notes:
I like to use my homemade teriyaki sauce. It is thicker, almost the consistency of a glaze. If you are using a store-bought teriyaki sauce, you’ll want to use teriyaki glaze. It needs to be thick enough to coat the meatballs and create a sauce.
