Ingredients
For the Meatballs:
- 1 pound ground beef
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For the Sauce:
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
For the Spicy Mayo Dip:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust for spice level)
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine all meatball ingredients. Mix until just combined. Roll into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until cooked through.
- In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Heat over medium heat, then stir in the cornstarch slurry. Simmer until the sauce thickens.
- Toss the baked meatballs in the sauce to coat them evenly.
- For the spicy mayo dip, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice.
- Serve the sauced meatballs with the spicy mayo dip on the side.
Notes
- Use Lean Meat – Helps the meatballs hold shape and keeps them from getting too greasy.
- Chill Before Cooking – Refrigerate the meatballs for 15–20 minutes to help them firm up.
- Adjust Spice Level – Customize the spicy mayo to your heat preference by adding more or less sriracha.
