Dry-aged Meatloaf Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Meatloaf

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, thyme, and Dijon mustard. Mix until just combined.

2. 2

   Shape and Bake

   Transfer the meat mixture to a loaf pan and shape it into a loaf. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

3. 3

   Make Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes

   While the meatloaf bakes, peel and chop 2 lbs of potatoes and boil until tender. Drain and mash with ½ cup of buttermilk, 2 tbs of butter, salt and pepper to taste.

4. 4

   Prepare Crispy Onions

   In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Thinly slice 1 onion and fry until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   Make Brown Gravy

   In a saucepan, melt 2 tbs of butter, whisk in 2 tbs of flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add 2 cups of beef broth, whisking until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

6. 6

   Serve

   Slice the meatloaf and serve with buttermilk-mashed potatoes, crispy onions on top, and drizzle with house brown gravy.
