In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, egg, and breadcrumbs.
Mix all ingredients gently with your hands or a spoon until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat to keep the patties tender.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty about 2 cm thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing during cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Place the patties in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side without pressing down, until a brown crust forms.
Flip the patties and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side until the internal temperature reaches 70°C (160°F) and the patties are cooked through.
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for 3 minutes before serving to retain their juices.
