Ingredients
For the Meatloaf:
- 1 pound 80/20 ground beef
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 cup kimchi diced
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 teaspoons Revolution Barbecue Texas Beef BBQ Rub
For the Sauce:
- 4 tablespoons gochujang chili paste
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease two mini loaf pans to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, diced kimchi, egg, panko bread crumbs, and Revolution Barbecue Texas Beef BBQ Rub. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Divide the meatloaf mixture evenly between the prepared mini loaf pans, shaping them into compact loaves. Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
- While the meatloaf is baking, it's time to whip up the spicy gochujang sauce. In a small bowl, mix the gochujang with the water until smooth. Set aside.
- After 20 minutes of baking, remove the meatloaf from the oven. Carefully spread the gochujang sauce over the top of each meatloaf, creating a spicy glaze. Raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius), then return the pans to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized.
- Once done, remove the meatloaves from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Slice them into thick, hearty portions and serve hot.
- For an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal, garnish your Korean Fusion Meatloaf with a sprinkle of chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
