• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, pineapple tidbits, onion, garlic, soy sauce, and grated ginger. Mix gently but thoroughly until combined.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into small, oval-shaped loaves.

Step 4

Arrange the mini loaves on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the reserved pineapple juice (approximately 1/4 cup), ketchup, brown sugar, and rice vinegar to create the glaze.

Step 6

Spoon the glaze generously over each beef loaf, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the loaves reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 8

Once done, remove the loaves from the oven and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
