# Ingredients:

→ Core Components

01 - 1 ½ pounds ground beef
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1 tablespoon sesame oil
04 - ¼ cup soy sauce
05 - 2 tablespoons brown sugar
06 - 2 tablespoons gochujang (spicy Korean pepper paste)
07 - 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
08 - 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
09 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
10 - 1 egg
11 - 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

→ Topping

13 - Sesame seeds

# Instructions:

01 - Get your oven warmed up to 375°F (190°C) and coat a loaf pan with some oil.
02 - Throw the beef, sesame oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, gochujang, minced garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, egg, and breadcrumbs into a big bowl.
03 - Stir it all together thoroughly. Pat the mixture into a loaf shape and pop it into your greased pan.
04 - Let it bake for about 40-45 minutes until it's totally done and has a nice brown top.
05 - During the final 10 minutes, spread some extra gochujang mixed with honey on top for a tasty sweet-spicy crust.
06 - After it's done, pull it out and wait 5 minutes before cutting. Sprinkle green onions and sesame seeds on top before you serve it.

# Notes:

01 - You can dial back the gochujang if you don't like things too hot.
02 - Try adding a bit of honey to make the glaze sweeter if you want.
03 - This goes great with a side of rice or some veggies for a complete dinner.
