Instructions
Creating Korean BBQ Meatballs with Spicy Mayo Dip is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the meatballs.
2. Mix the Meatball Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef or chicken, breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, ground ginger, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Form the Meatballs: Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake the Meatballs: In the preheated oven, bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Prepare the Spicy Mayo Dip: In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, gochujang, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and lime juice until well blended. Adjust the level of spiciness with Sriracha as desired.
6. Serve: Once the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve with the spicy mayo dip.
