Teriyaki Glazed Meatballs

Teriyaki is traditionally a sweet sauce that is made with refined sugars or corn syrup, sneaky ingredients that contribute to obesity and disease. It has a very pleasing flavor, with a wonderful balance of savory and sweet, which makes it easy to consume a surprisingly large amount of sugar when enjoying a normal teriyaki meal.  HOWEVER...This recipe isn't normal!

In this recipe we are making a healthier, low sugar version of teriyaki.
If you are a lover of teriyaki then these subtly sweet meatballs are right up your alley! The recipe calls for a small amount of honey. This small amount of healthful, raw honey is perfectly A-OK and beneficial.
Serve these tasty meatballs up as an appetizer or serve over arugula or spaghetti squash for a small, fitness-minded meal. Enjoy!
Servings: 6
Here’s what you need
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons ginger, minced
  • ¼ cup scallions, minced, plus more for garnish
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon raw honey
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon arrowroot starch
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions
  1. Combine the garlic, ginger and scallions in a food processor. Pulse until well combined and finely minced.
  2. Transfer the garlic mixture to a large bowl and add the ground beef and sea salt. Use your hands to mix until well combined. Form the mixture into 20 meatballs, about an inch in diameter.
  3. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil. Add the meatballs and cook, shaking often, until browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove the meatballs and set aside on a plate.
  4. Add the coconut aminos, honey and vinegar to the skillet. In a small bowl whisk the arrowroot starch and water together until fully dissolved. Add to the skillet, mix and simmer until the mixture has thickened, about 2 minutes. Return the meatballs to the skillet and cover in the sauce. Serve immediately, garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.
