Ingredienser
  

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 3 large onions, divided
  • 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Slice two onions into thick rounds and set aside. Finely chop the remaining onion.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until evenly blended but do not overwork.
  • Shape the mixture into a compact loaf about 8 inches long. Brush lightly with olive oil.
  • Heat a grill to medium heat. Place the meatloaf on the grates and cook for 25 to 30 minutes, turning once, until it reaches 160°F inside. Move the loaf to a plate and tent with foil.
  • While the meatloaf rests, place the onion rounds on the grill. Cook until deeply charred on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the charred onions to a skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the butter and beef broth to the skillet. Scrape up any browned bits and simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Slice the meatloaf and serve with the charred onion pan sauce spooned over the top.

merknader

Chop the onion very fine before mixing so it melts into the meat without creating large pockets. If the sauce seems thin after simmering, let it reduce a minute longer before serving. Leftovers reheat well in a covered skillet with a splash of broth to loosen the sauce again.
