I love making Korean BBQ style meatballs because they bring all the bold, savory flavors of Korean barbecue into a simple, easy to make dish. My family absolutely loves these meatballs; they disappear from the plate every single time I serve them. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or for a party because they are so versatile and can be served as an appetizer or a main course.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Korean BBQ Style Meatballs
1. Can I make these meatballs ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the meatballs and the glaze separately up to a day in advance. Keep them covered in the refrigerator, then bake the meatballs and glaze them just before serving.
2. What can I use instead of gochujang?
If you don’t have gochujang, you can substitute with a mix of 1/4 cup sriracha and 1/4 cup miso paste, or use a store bought Korean BBQ sauce. The flavor will be slightly different but still delicious.
3. How do I prevent the meatballs from being dry?
Do not overmix the meatball mixture and avoid overbaking them. Using a meat thermometer, the internal temperature should reach 160 degrees F. Also, the glaze adds moisture and flavor.
4. Can I cook these on the stovetop instead of the oven?
Absolutely. Brown the meatballs in a skillet with a little oil over medium high heat, then add the glaze and simmer until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
5. Are these meatballs gluten free?
To make them gluten free, use gluten free breadcrumbs or almond flour, and ensure your soy sauce is tamari or a gluten free soy sauce. The gochujang should also be checked for gluten free certification.
