Step 1
Cut potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Boil in salted water until fork-tender, ~12 minutes. Drain well.
Step 2
While potatoes cook, mix ground beef, panko, 3 tbsp cream, and salt and pepper. Form into two thick patties.
Step 3
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until it foams. Sear patties 3 minutes per side without moving. Transfer to plate.
Step 4
Mash hot potatoes with 2 tbsp butter and 3 tbsp cream until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Pour broth into the pan over medium heat. Stir in mustard and scrape up browned bits. Simmer 2 minutes until glossy.
Step 6
Arrange patties, mashed potatoes, fresh vegetables (sliced cucumber, tomato, bell pepper, steamed green beans) on plates. Pour gravy over patties and serve.
