Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 2 tablespoons miso paste (white or yellow preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon chipotle in adobo sauce, finely chopped
  • 3/4 cup breadcrumbs (plain or panko)
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt to taste (about 1 teaspoon)
  • Black pepper to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon)
  • For the Spicy Sriracha Glaze:
  • 3 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, miso paste, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and finely chopped chipotle peppers.
  3. Heat a small pan over medium heat with a teaspoon of oil. Sauté diced onion and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  4. Add the sautéed onions and garlic to the wet mixture.
  5. Add breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper to the wet mixture. Stir until evenly incorporated.
  6. Gently fold in the ground beef using hands or a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
  7. Lightly grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan. Press the meat mixture evenly into the pan and smooth the top.
  8. In a small bowl, combine sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar. Stir until smooth.
  9. Using a basting brush, spread about half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  11. Optional: About 5 minutes before the end of baking, brush the remaining glaze on top and broil for 2-3 minutes for a glossy finish. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  12. Remove from oven and let the meatloaf rest in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Do not overmix the meat mixture to avoid a dense meatloaf. Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Let the meatloaf rest before slicing to retain moisture. If glaze darkens too fast, tent with foil. Adjust moisture by adding more breadcrumbs if too wet or more milk if too dry.
