Ingredients

8 servings

  • 25 g butter, plus some more for brushing
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 100 g carrots, finely chopped
  • 55 g celery, finely chopped
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • 4 large white mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 6 tablespoons tomato ketchup
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1.1 kg ground beef
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 55 g fresh breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • salt and pepper

Method

  1. Heat the butter with the oil and garlic in a large pan. Add the vegetables and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the liquid has largely evaporated.
  2. Remove from heat. Stir in herbs, Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup, and cayenne pepper. Let cool. Grease a loaf pan with butter.
  3. Preheat the oven to 160°C.
  4. Put the ground meat in a large bowl and loosen it with your fingers. Add the vegetable mixture, eggs, salt, and pepper, and knead carefully. Knead in the breadcrumbs.
  5. Put the mixture into the loaf pan, smooth the surface, and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, mix the sugar, remaining 5 tablespoons tomato ketchup, mustard, and a pinch of salt for the glaze.
  7. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and brush it evenly with the glaze. Put it back in the oven and bake for another 35-45 minutes, until it is cooked through.
  8. Remove from the oven and let rest for at least 15 minutes. Cut into 8 thick slices and serve.
