Korean BBQ Meatballs with Spicy Mayo Dip
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, minced
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 large egg
For the spicy mayo dip:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, green onions, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, black pepper, and egg. Mix until well combined.
Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and browned.
While the meatballs are baking, prepare the spicy mayo dip by whisking together mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
Once the meatballs are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving with the spicy mayo dip.
Serves 4.

For extra flavor, consider adding chopped cilantro to the meatball mixture or using ground turkey instead of beef for a lighter option. You can also adjust the spice level of the dip by adding more or less sriracha to suit your taste.
