Ingredients
Meatballs
- 2 lbs Ground Beef
- 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup Green Onion sliced
- 5 Cloves Garlic minced
- 2 Eggs large
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Salt more or less to taste
- 1/4 Black Pepper more or less to taste
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
Sriracha Honey Garlic Sauce
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 5 Cloves Garlic minced
- 1/4 cup Beef/Chicken Stock or Water
- 2 tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1/3 cup Honey
- 3 tbsp Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce less if desired
- Juice from ½ Lime
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large mixing bowl, add the meatball ingredients - ground beef, breadcrumbs, green onions, garlic, eggs, soy sauce, brown sugar, salt and black pepper and use your hands or large spoon to mix until well combined. Next, use a tablespoon or cookie dough scoop to measure out and roll and form the meat mixture into bite sized meatballs (approx. 18-20 meatballs).
- Place the meatballs on a cast iron skillet or sheet pan lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and browned, flipping at the halfway point.
- While meatballs cooking, add sauce ingredients - butter, garlic, honey, chicken/beef stock or water, sriracha chili sauce, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce and lime juice to a saucepan and heat over medium heat, bringing to a simmer and whisking frequently. Once sauce has begun to simmer, reduce heat to low until thicken or gradually whisk in cornstarch/water slurry to thicken sauce (see notes below).
- When meatballs cooked, remove from oven and pour sauce over meatballs and toss until meatballs well coated. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds and a squeeze of fresh lime juice, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
No Rice Wine Vinegar? - substitute Rice Wine Vinegar, use White or Apple Cider Vinegar.
Want to Thicken Sauce? - combine 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch + 1 tsp cold water, stir to combine and add slurry to sauce.
