Description
Flaky biscuit dough stuffed with savory roast beef and melty cheese, baked to golden perfection, and served with rich, flavorful au jus for dipping—combining the indulgence of a French dip sandwich into a hand‑held biscuit.
Ingredients
- For the biscuits:
- 8 refrigerated flaky biscuit dough (e.g., Grands)
- 1 lb thinly sliced deli roast beef
- 8 slices provolone or Swiss cheese
- 1–2 tablespoons horseradish or Dijon mustard (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted (for brushing)
- Garlic powder or Italian seasoning for topping (optional)
- For the au jus dip:
- 2 cups beef broth
- ¼ cup red wine (optional for richness) :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (or minced garlic)
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (or beef drippings, if available) :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin or baking sheet.
- Flatten each biscuit into a circle. Spread horseradish or mustard inside (if using), then top with roast beef and cheese.
- Fold edges to seal into a ball and place seam‑side down. Brush each with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder or Italian seasoning.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden and puffed.
- While baking, make the au jus: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter (or use drippings). Add beef broth, red wine (if using), Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper.
- Bring to a gentle simmer for 5–10 minutes, letting flavors meld and slightly reduce. Taste and adjust seasoning. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
- Serve the biscuits warm with hot au jus for dipping.
Notes
- You can use onion soup mix or packaged au jus mix for convenience. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
- Sprinkle biscuits with parsley after baking for freshness.
- Any melty cheese like pepper jack or cheddar works.
- Ensure dough is well sealed and seam‑side down to avoid leaks.
- Store leftover biscuits and au jus separately. Reheat biscuits in an oven or air fryer to retain crispness; warm au jus gently on the stove.
