Instructions

1. Mix the minced meat with salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, and cumin in a bowl. Knead the mixture for about 2 minutes with wet hands until well combined. Form 4 equal-sized balls.
2. For each meat ball, place it between two pieces of aluminum foil. Using the bottom of a flat plate, press down to flatten the patty to an even thickness of about 1-2 cm. Smooth out any bumps or uneven edges with your hands, then remove the foil. Repeat until all 4 patties are formed.
3. Heat oil or fat in a grill pan or frying pan over high heat. Lightly wet both sides of each patty with water using wet hands and place them in the pan. Fry for 30 seconds on each side over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and fry for 8 to 12 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 71°C (160°F) or no pink juices leak from the patties.
