Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, soy sauce, and gochujang. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated, ensuring the flavors blend together.
- Shape the Meatloaf: Transfer the meat mixture onto a baking sheet or loaf pan and shape it into a compact loaf, pressing gently to maintain the form for even cooking.
- Bake the Meatloaf: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the meat is fully cooked through.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows juices to redistribute, keeping the loaf moist and flavorful.
Notes
- You can substitute ground beef with ground pork or a mix of beef and pork for a different flavor profile.
- Adjust the amount of gochujang to your preferred spice level.
- Serve with steamed rice and sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
- Use gluten-free breadcrumbs to make this recipe gluten free.
