Important Notes

⚠️

Using lean ground sirloin (85/15) is recommended to prevent the meatloaf from being too greasy.

⚠️

Soaking fresh bread in milk is a key step to ensure the meatloaf is moist and tender, which is preferable to using dry breadcrumbs.

⚠️

Avoid overmixing the meat mixture, as this can result in a tough and dense meatloaf.

⚠️

Baking the meatloaf on a rack or broiler pan allows excess fat to drip away, resulting in a better texture.

⚠️

It's crucial to let the meatloaf rest for at least 10 minutes after baking. This helps the juices to redistribute, keeping the slices moist and intact.
