INGREDIENTS:

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

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. 

My husband's Ultimate Steakhouse Meatloaf is a delicious upgrade to the classic dish, offering a savory and satisfying meal that's sure to become a family favorite.  Try this recipe today and bring the flavors of you favorite steakhouse to your home!
