Ingredients

• Ground beef (80/20) - 400 grams
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until spices are evenly distributed.
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 grill pan or frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach desired doneness.
