- 1.5 pounds ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, olive oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, gochujang, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, egg, and panko breadcrumbs.
- Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared pan and shape it into a loaf.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes or until fully cooked through.
- Optional: In the last 10 minutes of baking, brush the top with extra gochujang and a little honey for a sticky glaze.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes, then slice and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot!
Notes
Use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version. Reduce gochujang if you prefer less spice, or replace with BBQ sauce for a milder glaze. Serve with jasmine rice and steamed veggies for a complete meal.
