👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, sweet paprika, black pepper, baking soda, water, and salt. Mix thoroughly by hand until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture becomes sticky.
2. Form the mixture into a large, flat, round patty about 1.5-2 cm thick. Brush both sides of the patty with vegetable oil.
3. Preheat a grill or a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Cook the pljeskavica for 6-8 minutes per side, or until deeply browned and cooked through, turning once.
4. Remove the pljeskavica from the heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Traditionally served in a warm lepinja (flatbread) with chopped onions, ajvar, and kajmak.
