Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, soak the panko in the milk for at least 10 minutes, until fully moistened.
3. Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Cook the onion until softened, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the garlic and cook about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add the tomato paste and sugar and cook until the paste darkens in colour.
6. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and cider vinegar, then take off the heat.
7. Add the onion mixture to the soaked panko and stir briefly.
8. Add the eggs, spices, salt and about 2 tablespoons of the beef and whisk until well combined.
9. Add the remaining beef and gently work it in by hand without overmixing.
10. Shape into a loaf about 8 by 5 inches on the prepared sheet. Whisk the glaze ingredients until smooth, spread half over the loaf and keep the rest aside.
11. Bake on the centre rack for 45 minutes. Spoon the remaining glaze over the top and bake a further 20 to 25 minutes, until the centre reaches 160°F (72°C).
12. Rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
