In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs and 1/4 cup whole milk; let sit 2 minutes. Add 1 lb ground beef (80/20), 1/2 lb ground pork, cooled onion, 1 beaten large egg, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Shape into 4 oval patties with a dimple pressed into the center of each.

Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties dimple-side up until browned on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook 3 to 4 more minutes. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 3 additional minutes. Remove and tent with foil.

In the same skillet over medium-high heat, cook 8 oz thinly sliced cremini mushrooms until browned and liquid evaporates, about 4 minutes.

Add 1/4 cup dry red wine and scrape up browned bits. Stir in 1 cup beef broth, 2 tbsp tomato paste, 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce, and 2 tsp soy sauce. Boil until sauce reduces by a third and lightly coats a spoon, about 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and swirl in 2 tsp unsalted butter. Return patties to pan and spoon sauce over them. Serve immediately.
