Ingredients

• Ground lamb - 250 grams
• Ground beef - 250 grams
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon

Steps

2. Form the meat mixture into 2 equal-sized patties.
3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
