This post was sponsored by Tastefully Simple who provided some of the products used to prepare the Asian-style meatloaf recipe. All opinions are my own.
Key Ingredients
- Ground beef – I like to use an 80/20 blend, but 85/15 would be ok too.
- Ground pork – Using pork in addition to ground beef adds richness to the flavor, and I recommend an 80/20 blend.
- Asian Garlic Dip Mix -I love this seasoning mix from Tastefully Simple. It gives an Asian-style twist to garlic with the sweetness of brown sugar and a hint of red pepper. (Save 10% with code EMMTS10 through September 1, 2021 online at TastefullySimple.com.)
- Onion Onion seasoning – A blend of onion, chives, shallots and sea salt. It’s perfect in this recipe!
- Panko crumbs – I like using panko as a binding agent rather than plain bread crumbs, but you could use either one.
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: In a large bowl, combine all ingredients.
Step 2: Mix just until combined; don’t overmix.
Step 3: Form into a greased round cake pan. The size will depend on how big your instant pot or multicooker is. A 6-inch cake pan fits inside mine. (See notes on cook time in recipe card.)
Step 4: Place rack in a 6 quart or larger multicooker and add 1 1/2 cups hot water. Place pan of meatloaf on the rack. Set multi-cooker to Pressure Cooker on HIGH for 25 minutes.
When meatloaf is done, allow a 10-minute natural release, then continue with a quick release.
Step 5: Drain extra grease off meatloaf.
Step 6: Cut meatloaf into slices and serve with steamed vegetables and rice.
Helpful Tips
- If you don’t have an 8-inch cake pan or it doesn’t fit your multi-cooker, use 2 sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil to create a pan that will fit your multi-cooker.
- Make Ahead & Freeze: Prepare step 1 and place in a gallon freezer bag. Seal well,label and freeze. Thaw completely and continue with step 2.
- Slow Cooker Option: Following directions above, line a 3-quart or larger slow cooker with aluminum foil. Prepare step 1, form loaf to fit your slow cooker. Place in slow cooker. Cook on LOW 6 hours.
Recipe FAQ
Panko is a type of bread crumb. It’s lighter and flakier and doesn’t absorb as much of the oil in the meatloaf but still acts as a binding agent. However, it can be used interchangeably with plain bread crumbs.
