We're putting a delicious twist on traditional meatloaf by topping it with a vibrant sauce, which highlights earthy cumin and tingly Sichuan peppercorn—a prized spice popular in its namesake cuisine. Sides of sesame roasted potatoes and bok choy, plus a sprinkle of nutty sesame seeds add even more umami flavor to this dish.

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Medium dice the potatoes. Peel 2 cloves of garlic; using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate into a paste. Quarter the lime. In a bowl, combine the soy glaze, cumin-Sichuan sauce, and the juice of 1 lime wedge.
Line a sheet pan with foil. Transfer the diced potatoes to the foil. Drizzle with the sesame oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer on one side of the sheet pan.
In a bowl, combine the beef, breadcrumbs, garlic paste, and 1 egg (you will have extra); season with salt and pepper. Gently mix to combine. Carefully transfer to the other side of the sheet pan of seasoned potatoes. Shape into a tightly packed loaf, about 7 inches by 3 inches. Transfer half the glaze to a separate bowl and set aside for serving. Evenly top the meatloaf with the remaining glaze. Roast 19 to 21 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and the meatloaf is browned and cooked through.* Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest at least 2 minutes.
*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 160°F for beef.
Meanwhile, thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and hollow green tops. Cut off and discard the root ends of the bok choy; roughly chop, separating the stems and leaves.
In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chopped bok choy stems and sliced white bottoms of the scallions; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Add the chopped bok choy leaves; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until wilted. Turn off the heat; carefully stir in the juice of 1 lime wedge.
Carefully transfer the rested meatloaf to a cutting board and cut crosswise into equal-sized pieces. Serve the sliced meatloaf with the roasted potatoes and cooked bok choy. Top the meatloaf with the reserved sauce. Garnish with the sliced green tops of the scallions and sesame seeds. Serve the remaining lime wedges on the side. Enjoy!
