Sesame-Glazed Meatballs & Broccoli

This spin on beef and broccoli swaps out the steak for flavor-packed meatballs. Serve with white rice.
Serves: 4
Time: 1 Hour

Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 pounds Walden Ground Beef
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 Walden Pasture-Raised large eggs, lightly beaten
- 4 scallions, white parts minced, green parts sliced thin on bias
- 2 tablespoons chili-garlic sauce
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil, divided
- 11/2 teaspoons table salt, divided
- 1 pound broccoli florets, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce, plus extra for serving
- 11/2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
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 11/4 teaspoons salt in bowl until well combined. Form mixture into sixteen 2-inch meatballs and arrange on half of prepared sheet.
