Pro Tip: Meal prep will save you time, money and help you shed a few pounds if that is your goal. Take 15 minutes every single week to plan out your meals and jot down a grocery list. I don’t make new recipes every week. I keep things simple BUT each week I will make at least 1 new recipe. This week, the new recipe is this family friendly Korean Meatball recipe that I paired with brown rice and broccoli!
Swap the panko crumbs for 1/4 cup of almond or coconut flour to make it gluten free. I also used a store bought korean BBQ sauce to cut a simple corner of having to make the sauce. Dinner time is chaotic and I don’t have time to simmer and chop. I also bought the garlic and ginger already chopped!
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean beef
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tsp minced ginger
- 1/2 panko crumbs
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup green onion
- 1 tbsp tamari sauce
- optional cilantro
- Korean BBQ sauce
- Broccoli
- Brown Jasmine Rice
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, mix together the beef, garlic, ginger, breadcrumbs, egg, green onion, and tamari sauce. Mix until well combined.
- Using your hands, roll the mixture into small meatballs, about 1-2 inches in diameter.
- Cook meatballs for 15 minutes in the oven at 425F.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add the meatballs after they were cooked in the oven to the skillet, add BBQ sauce and cook for additional 5-7 minutes, or until browned on all sides and meatballs are cooked through.
- Serve the meatballs with steamed rice and your veggie like steamed broccoli or carrots. Enjoy!
