Let's Get Started!








WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS STEAKHOUSE MEATLOAF:

Meatloaf is a beloved classic, but my husband's Steakhouse Meatloaf takes it to a whole new level.

Here's why you'll love it:

  • Rich Flavor:  The combination of ground beef, spices, and steakhouse-style ingredients creates a robust and savory flavor.
  • Juicy Texture:  Our method ensured a perfectly moist and tender meatloaf every time. 
  • Easy to Make:  This recipe is straightforward, making it perfect for both novice and experienced cooks.
  • Impressive Presentation:  Whether it's a family dinner or a special occasion, this meatloaf looks as good as it tastes.  


INGREDIENTS:

To make my husband's Ultimate Steakhouse Meatloaf, you'll need the following ingredients.  

The ingredients needed to make the Steakhouse Meatloaf

For the Meat Mixture:
  • 2 lbs of Ground Meat (I used beef, but you can use turkey)
  • 2 Eggs, slightly beaten 
  • 3/4 cup Milk
  • 1 cup Bread crumbs
  • 2 Tbsp Dried Minced Onion (or 1 onion, finely chopped)
  • 1 Tbsp Dried Italian Seasoning
  • 2 Tbsp Shredded Horseradish 
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Ground Pepper
For the Glaze:
  • 1/4 cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Ketchup
  • 2 Tbsp A1 Steak Sauce
  • 2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tbsp Shredded Horseradish
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning







STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

1.  Preheat Your Oven:  Preheat you oven to 350°F/175°C.  This ensures it's ready when you finish preparing the meatloaf.

2.  Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture:  In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, dried minced onions, milk, Italian seasoning, horseradish, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.  Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.  Be careful not to over mix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.

2.  Shape the Meatloaf:  Transfer the meat mixture onto a foil lined baking sheet.  Shape it into a loaf, ensuring it's even for consistent cooking.

4.  Make the Glaze:  In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, ketchup, steak sauce, brown sugar, horseradish, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.  This glaze will add a sweet and tangy layer to your meatloaf.

5.  Apply the Glaze:  Brush HALF of the glaze over the top of the meatloaf.  Reserve the remaining glaze for later.

6.  Bake the Meatloaf:  Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes.  Then, remove it from the oven and brush the remaining glaze.  Return it to the oven and bake for and additional 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F/71°C.

7.  Rest and Serve:  Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.  This allows the juices to redistribute, making for a juicier meatloaf.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

This Steakhouse Meatloaf pairs perfectly with classic sides like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh garden salad.  For a true steakhouse experience, serve it with a side of garlic butter green beans and a slice of warm, crusty bread.  






TIPS FOR THE PERFECT MEATLOAF:

  • Use Fresh Ingredients:  Fresh garlic and onions make a big difference in flavor.
  • Don't Overmix:  Mix just until combines to keep the meatloaf tender.
  • Let it Rest:  Allowing the meatloaf to rest before slicing ensures it stays juicy.  
  • Make it in the Crockpot:  Skip the oven and make this amazing entrée in the slow cooker.  Line the crockpot with parchment.  Place the meatloaf in the slow cooker.  Pour the glaze over the meatloaf.  Place the lid on the crockpot and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours.

    1. Hey there! I have had a couple people ask me that today. In all honesty, the horseradish adds more of a zestiness than a spice. The meat is so dense that it barely comes through. You can always cut back a little if you are worried.

    1. Meatloaf was my nemesis for a long time. It is tricky, but I feel like this base is pretty much food proof and the flavors my hubby added are really good!

  6. I have this in the oven now! Got my glaze ready for the second 45 min glaze, we are doing the usual mashed potatoes and peas. Oh by the way, I didn't change one thing. But the store had no more horseradish, they only had the creamy stuff, no shredded, which is a bomber, I wanted the full experience. Next time then I guess. But I'll post after we eat. Thanks for sharing, this may be in my meal rotations from now on.

  7. This is honestly, by far, THE BEST RECIPE I have had for meatloaf. The horseradish was the absolute star! My children are 15, 11, 7, and 6 and they wanted more! They usually run at the thought of meatloaf!
