Ingredients

• Top sirloin beef - 400 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the top sirloin beef, minced garlic, chopped onion, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
2. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about 2 cm thick.
3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the burger patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired doneness.
4. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
