Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion, plus 1 tablespoon for garnish
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, for garnish

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat the smoker to 250°F. Set it up for indirect cooking so the meatloaf can cook steadily without sitting over direct heat.
  • In a large bowl, stir the panko and milk together. Let them stand for 2 minutes so the breadcrumbs soften.
  • Add the egg, chopped green onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix until combined, then add the ground beef. Gently mix just until the seasonings are evenly distributed. Avoid packing the mixture too firmly.
  • Shape the mixture into a compact loaf and place it on a smoker-safe tray. Smoke until the center reaches 155°F, checking the temperature with an instant-read thermometer.
  • While the loaf smokes, combine the ketchup, gochujang, brown sugar, and rice vinegar in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
  • Brush the glaze over the meatloaf when its center reaches 155°F. Continue smoking until the center reaches 160°F and the glaze looks glossy and set.
  • Carefully remove the meatloaf from the smoker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with the reserved green onion and sesame seeds.

For a milder glaze, reduce the gochujang slightly and add an equal amount of ketchup. Let the loaf rest before slicing so the tender center holds together, and serve extra glaze alongside the slices if you like a stronger sweet-spicy finish.
