Come preparare

1
Heat the oven to 190°C. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment and place a wire rack on top if available.
2
In a large bowl, stir the breadcrumbs and milk together and let them stand for 5 minutes, until the crumbs are evenly softened.
3
Add the grated onion, egg, 30 ml Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper to the softened breadcrumbs. Mix until evenly combined.
4
Add the ground beef and mix gently with your hands just until the seasoning is distributed and no dry pockets remain; avoid compressing the mixture.
5
Transfer the mixture to the prepared rack and shape it into a compact loaf about 23 cm long and 8 cm wide, with an even thickness.
6
Bake for 40 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk 120 ml ketchup with the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and the remaining 15 ml Worcestershire sauce.
7
Brush the loaf generously with about two-thirds of the glaze, then return it to the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes more, until the center reaches 74°C.

Perché questa ricetta funziona

Grated onion releases moisture directly into the mixture, while milk-soaked breadcrumbs create a soft, cohesive crumb. The two-part ketchup glaze adds tang, sweetness, and a glossy caramelized finish.
