Instructions:

1. Prepare the Meatballs:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, onion, garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix gently (don’t overwork the meat).

• Roll into 1-inch meatballs (~20-24 pieces) and place on the baking sheet.

• Bake for 15-18 minutes until cooked through.

2. Make the Korean BBQ Glaze:

• While meatballs bake, whisk together gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic in a small saucepan.

• Simmer on low heat for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Add water if too thick.

3. Coat the Meatballs:

• Toss baked meatballs in the warm glaze until fully coated.

4. Make the Spicy Mayo Dip:

• Mix mayonnaise, sriracha, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey in a small bowl.

5. Serve:

• Arrange glazed meatballs on a plate, drizzle with extra glaze or spicy mayo, and garnish with sesame seeds & green onions.

• Serve with the spicy mayo dip on the side.

Tips:

• For extra crispiness, pan-fry meatballs in oil before glazing.

• Make ahead: Prepare meatballs and glaze separately, then reheat and combine before serving.

• Alternative cooking: Cook in an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes.
