Why This Recipe Works

We used 90 percent lean ground beef to avoid greasy meatballs, and we used extra bread crumbs as a binder to keep the juices contained, not leaking out onto the baking sheet.

Before You Begin

Serve with white rice.

Instructions

Adjust oven rack 8 inches from broiler element and heat oven to 400 degrees. Spray rimmed baking sheet with vegetable oil spray. Mix beef, panko, eggs, scallion whites, chili-garlic sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1¼ teaspoons salt in bowl until well combined. Form mixture into sixteen 2-inch meatballs and arrange on half of prepared sheet.

Toss broccoli, vegetable oil, remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt together in bowl. Arrange broccoli on other half of sheet. Roast until meatballs register 160 degrees and broccoli is crisp-tender, about 20 minutes.

Remove sheet from oven and heat broiler. Combine hoisin and sesame seeds in bowl. Brush hoisin mixture over meatballs. Broil until glaze is bubbling and tops of broccoli are browned, about 3 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through broiling. Sprinkle with scallion greens and serve with extra hoisin.
