Salisbury Steak with Homemade Dinner Rolls

To make the patties, combine ground chuck in a large bowl with the salt, pepper, and garlic blend, creole seasoning, onion powder, steak seasoning, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.

Add 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, garlic breadcrumbs, and 1/2 cup milk. Mix with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Form the mixture into 3-4 large, oval-shaped patties. Place on a plate, cover, and refrigerate while you prepare the dinner rolls.

To start the dinner rolls, combine 1 cup of warm milk, active dry yeast, and sugar in a measuring cup. Stir and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to bloom.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, add 1/4 cup melted butter, one egg, and salt. Pour in the bloomed yeast mixture.

Attach the dough hook and slowly add 3 cups of flour while mixing on low speed. Knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and pulls away from the sides.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, knead by hand for a minute, then place in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

After the first rise, punch the air out of the dough. Turn it out onto a counter and cut it into 12 equal pieces.

Shape each piece into a smooth ball by folding the edges over a few times. Place the dough balls into a buttered baking dish.

Cover the baking dish and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. While the rolls bake, begin the steak and gravy.

Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the Salisbury steak patties for about 5 minutes on each side until a nice crust forms. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook in the beef drippings for a few minutes. Then add the sliced mushrooms and cook until softened.

Add 3 tbsp of unsalted butter and let it melt. Stir in the roasted garlic paste and tomato paste and cook for one minute.

Sprinkle 3 tbsp of flour over the vegetables and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Slowly whisk in the beef broth and the remaining 1 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a simmer.

As the gravy thickens, add fresh thyme, smoked garlic seasoning, and butter & herb seasoning. Stir to combine.

Return the seared patties to the skillet. Baste with gravy, then cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes to cook through.

Once the rolls are out of the oven, immediately brush the tops with 2 tbsp of melted butter.

Serve the Salisbury steak and gravy over mashed potatoes, with the homemade dinner rolls on the side. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
