Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Ground beef
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Pineapple tidbits (drained, reserve juice)
- 0.5 cup Onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, pineapple tidbits, onion, garlic, soy sauce, and grated ginger. Mix gently but thoroughly until combined.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into small, oval-shaped loaves.
Arrange the mini loaves on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the reserved pineapple juice (approximately 1/4 cup), ketchup, brown sugar, and rice vinegar to create the glaze.
Spoon the glaze generously over each beef loaf, ensuring they are well-coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the loaves reaches 160°F (71°C).
Once done, remove the loaves from the oven and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Hawaiian Beef Loaves warm with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed rice or a fresh green salad. Enjoy!
