Ingredients
Scale
- 500 g (1.1 lbs) lean beef mince
- 1 can (400 g/14 oz) black beans
- 1 red onion
- 2 red peppers
- 14 sliced green jalapeños (from a jar)
- ½ bunch coriander (15 g/0.5 oz)
- 1 can (400 g/14 oz) plum tomatoes
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 4 tbsps soured cream
- olive oil
- sea salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Vegetable Preparation: Peel red onion into wedges and chop red peppers into chunks. Drizzle with olive oil in a baking tray, ensuring even coating.
- Roasting Vegetables: Transfer tray to preheated oven at 220°C (428°F). Roast for approximately 15 minutes until vegetables soften and caramelize, developing rich color and depth of flavor.
- Meatloaf Mixture: Finely mince jalapeños and coriander stalks. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, partially drained black beans, chopped jalapeños, and coriander stalks. Season with salt and black pepper. Knead mixture thoroughly and shape into a compact meatloaf.
- Initial Baking: Carefully position meatloaf among roasted vegetables in the tray. Return to oven and continue cooking for 15 minutes, allowing meat to develop a golden exterior.
- Final Seasoning and Cooking: Splash red wine vinegar around the meatloaf. Incorporate remaining black beans and plum tomatoes, gently distributing ingredients. Bake for a final 15 minutes until meatloaf achieves perfect golden-brown coloration and complete internal doneness.
- Serving Presentation: Remove from oven and allow to rest briefly. Garnish with dollops of soured cream and sprinkle reserved coriander leaves on top before serving.
Notes
- Maximize Vegetable Flavor: Roast vegetables beforehand to develop deep caramelization and enhance overall dish sweetness.
- Mix Meat Gently: Use clean hands to combine ingredients, ensuring even seasoning without overworking the ground beef.
- Check Internal Temperature: Confirm meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C) for safe consumption and optimal meat texture.
- Balance Moisture: Adding red wine vinegar and plum tomatoes during final cooking stage prevents dryness and adds vibrant flavor complexity.
