Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup pineapple chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and black pepper. Mix well and form into 1-inch meatballs.
  3. Place meatballs on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
  5. While meatballs are baking, prepare the teriyaki sauce. In a small saucepan, whisk together pineapple juice, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and cornstarch.
  6. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
  7. Add the pineapple chunks to the sauce and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
  8. Add the baked meatballs to the saucepan with the teriyaki sauce. Toss to coat evenly.
  9. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For a deeper flavor, you can use a mix of ground beef and ground pork.
  • If you don’t have pineapple juice, you can use water or chicken broth, but the pineapple flavor will be less pronounced.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little heat.
