Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Mix ground beef and ground pork together in a bowl using 2 spoons.

Step 3

Heat lard in a a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir shallots and garlic until fragrant and tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add shallot mixture to meat mixture; season with salt and black pepper. Form mixture into patties, taking care to handle mixture as little as possible.
