Teriyaki Beef Meatballs

For the meatballs:
Add ground beef, panko, egg, pepper, salt, onion, ginger and garlic into a large mixing bowl. Mix with your hands or with a spoon until combined. Roll into 12 meatballs.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with the oil. Add the meatballs and saute until fully cooked and browned on all sides, 8-10 minutes.

Once meatballs are cooked add them to the teriyaki sauce. Coat the meatballs in the sauce and allow them to simmer for 1-2 minutes.

Serve the meatballs immediately with rice or by itself as an appetizer. Garnish with extra green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

For the teriyaki sauce:
Add oil and garlic into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 1 minute. Add soy sauce, water, brown sugar and ginger. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes.

In a small bowl mix together the cornstarch and water until combined. Add this to the teryaki sauce. Cook sauce until thickened. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of the spoon. Keep on low heat until you are ready to toss with the meatballs.
