Ingredients
Biscuit and Filling:
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 8 slices deli roast beef
- 8 slices provolone cheese
Butter Glaze:
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Au Jus:
- 1 cup beef broth
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish and set it aside to keep the biscuits from sticking and ensure even baking.
- Prepare Biscuits: Separate the biscuit dough into 8 individual biscuits. Gently flatten each biscuit with your hands to create a surface ideal for layering the filling.
- Add Filling: Place one slice of deli roast beef and one slice of provolone cheese onto each flattened biscuit, ensuring coverage for a flavorful bite.
- Seal Biscuits: Fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the roast beef and cheese filling. Pinch the edges firmly to seal the contents inside and form a ball shape to avoid leakage while baking.
- Arrange in Baking Dish: Place each filled biscuit seam-side down in the prepared baking dish, spacing them evenly for uniform cooking.
- Prepare Butter Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper to create a savory glaze.
- Glaze Biscuits: Generously brush the butter mixture over the tops of each biscuit to add flavor and help develop a golden crust during baking.
- Bake: Bake the biscuits for 20 to 25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and the dough is cooked through, ensuring a crispy exterior and a melty interior.
- Warm Au Jus: While the biscuits bake, heat the beef broth in a small saucepan over medium heat until it is warm and ready for dipping.
- Serve: Serve the baked French dip biscuits warm alongside the warm au jus for dipping, providing a deliciously moist and flavorful experience with every bite.
Notes
- Use good-quality deli roast beef and provolone cheese for the best flavor and texture in the biscuits.
- Make sure to pinch the dough edges tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- For extra flavor, you can add a dash of black pepper inside the filled biscuits before sealing.
- If you prefer a richer au jus, add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef broth when warming.
