Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until they are browned and cooked through.
4. While the patties are cooking, heat the tomato sauce in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in red pepper flakes, if using, and let simmer for 5 minutes.
