Ingredients

• Iberian ham - 100 grams
• Ground beef (80% lean) - 250 grams
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Burger buns - 2 units

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix the ground beef with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2. Form the mixture into two burger patties, each about 1.5 cm thick.
3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and add the patties, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.
4. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Manchego cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
