Mongolian Meatballs

beef

green onions (finely chopped, plus more for serving)

fresh ginger (grated (or 2 Tbsp. ginger paste))

garlic (minced

broccoli

olive oil

vegetable oil

soy sauce

brown sugar

garlic (minced)

Tablespoons ginger (minced)

water

Tablespoon rice wine vinegar

red pepper flakes

cornstarch

Kosher salt and pepper (to taste)

green onions (thinly sliced)

Sesame seeds

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.

Add the ground beef, green onions, ginger, and garlic to a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until just combined. Roll into tablespoon-size balls, placing them on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Add the broccoli to the other side of the baking sheet and toss with 1 tablespoon oil, salt, and pepper. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet add the oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, water, rice wine vinegar and red pepper flakes. Stir and cook over medium-high heat, for about 10 minutes. Whisk together cornstarch with 1/2 cup water and add to your sauce. Continue to cook until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat.

Add the cooked meatballs to the skillet of sauce and toss, until the sauce coats the meatballs.

Serve the meatballs and remaining sauce over bowls of rice topped with additional green onions and sesame seeds. Serve the broccoli on the side.

This was good but VERY sweet. I will make it again but with HALF the brown sugar and more red pepper flakes. I’d probably cook the meatball on the stove top too so they get a bit of a crust on them…the texture was less than appealing to my kids.

I used premade meatballs, so I didn't get the full experience, but this sauce was fantastic.  I tend to put chili crisp on everything Asian that I eat, but this didn't need it, the flavor was superb.

Are there any substitutions for the vegetable oil that would work nicely ? Thank you

These were delicious, fast, and easy to make! We also made the Din Tai Fung Cucumber Salad to go with it. I added some chili crisp to mine for some extra spice.

Very tasty.  I had no problem with sauce consistency (wondering if people used a pot instead of skillet perhaps??  More surface area = reducing faster).  Next time I may reduce the sugar a bit as it is sweet.  Enjoyed them though.

Made this yesterday and gave some to my neighbour. SO good and my neighbour wants the recipe. Definitely a keeper!

This was a delicious meal! The sauce was perfect and enjoyed over all the rice and quinoa we used for the adults. I would use a panade in the meatballs next time because they were a bit dry but still delicious. We don't like broccoli so I heated up some sesame oil in a hot pan, threw fresh green beans and mushrooms in, and finished up with some of the sticky sauce and it was SO good.

My family really enjoyed this recipe. I followed others advice and cut the brown sugar in half, simmered sauce on med-high heat (carmelized nicely), and added crackers and an egg to the beef. I'll definitely make this again. Thank you for sharing!

Delicious! Even with not having the exact measurements for the ginger and garlic and also having to combine half low sodium and half regular soy sauce (what I had). Will be making again!

The sauce was a bit sweet.  I think if I cut the sugar in half it would be better for our family.  I roasted the broccoli &amp; Sheff it had about 6 minutes added red bell pepper.  My family liked it overall &amp; we'll try it again.
