Juicy pork and beef meatballs baked to perfection and tossed in a sticky, sweet-and-spicy honey Sriracha glaze. Perfect for parties, appetizers, or a flavorful weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz ground pork
  • 8 oz ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko preferred)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 3 tbsp Sriracha
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (for glaze)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (for glaze)
  • 1 tsp cornstarch, dissolved in 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional garnish)
  • Extra green onions, sliced (optional garnish)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Place a wire rack on top if using.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground pork, ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix just until combined.
  3. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture per meatball and roll gently between your palms. Place evenly spaced on the prepared pan (about 24 meatballs).
  4. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until browned and cooked through (internal temp should be 160°F).
  5. While meatballs bake, make the glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and minced garlic. Stir until bubbly, then whisk in cornstarch slurry. Cook 1-2 minutes until thickened and glossy.
  6. Transfer baked meatballs to a large bowl. Pour glaze over and toss gently to coat.
  7. Garnish with sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

For gluten-free, use almond flour or gluten-free breadcrumbs. Adjust Sriracha for desired spice level. Meatballs can be made ahead and glazed before serving. Freeze unglazed meatballs for up to 2 months. If glaze thickens too much, add a splash of water.
