Heat a heavy 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Coat the cut sides of the bun with cooking spray and place them in the pan. Toast for 1 minute until golden. Remove the bun and set aside.
Wipe out the skillet and increase heat to high. Lightly spray the pan. Place the beef balls in the pan with plenty of space between them. Use a burger press or a heavy spatula to press each ball down very firmly until they are thin, flat patties. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook the patties for 2 minutes without moving them to develop a dark crust. Flip the patties and cook for 1 minute more until they reach 160°F and are cooked through.
Spread the mustard on the bottom bun. Stack both beef patties on top, followed by the tomato and shredded lettuce. Top with the remaining bun half.
