instructions
    1

    Begin by mincing the garlic and dicing the onion.

    2

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, diced onion, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly combined.

    3

    Divide the meat mixture into four equal parts and shape them into patties about ¾ inches thick.

    4

    Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the patties onto the pan and cook for 5 minutes on one side.

    5

    Flip the patties and cook for an additional 5 minutes for medium doneness; add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty in the last minute of cooking to melt.

    6

    While the burgers are cooking, slice the tomato and wash the lettuce leaves.

    7

    Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster to your preference.

    8

    Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by the patty, tomato slice, and your choice of ketchup and mustard.

    9

    Top with the other half of the bun, and your delicious Hamburguesa a la Plancha is ready to be served!
