Ingredients

• Alcatra beef - 300 grams
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon

2. Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1.5 cm thick.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness.
