Description
Hearty baked French Dip biscuits filled with deli‑style roast beef and provolone cheese, baked to golden perfection and served with warm au jus for dipping—a comforting twist on the classic sandwich.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all‑purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- ¾ cup milk (dairy or non‑dairy)
- 1 lb thinly‑sliced roast beef (deli style)
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese (or mozzarella)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for jus)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder (for jus)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt for the biscuit dough. Cut in the cold cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk until just combined—do not overmix.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sliced roast beef, shredded cheese, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder and season with salt and pepper.
- On a lightly floured surface, gently knead the dough a few times and roll to about ½‑inch thickness. Cut out circles (about 12) and place half of them on the prepared sheet. Add a tablespoon of the beef & cheese filling to each, then top with the remaining biscuit circles. Press the edges to seal.
- Bake for 15‑20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed.
- Meanwhile, prepare the au jus: in a saucepan over medium heat, combine beef broth, soy sauce, garlic powder and onion powder. Bring to a simmer for about 5 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the baked biscuits warm, alongside the hot au jus for dipping.
Notes
- You can swap the provolone for Swiss, pepper jack or even cheddar cheese.
- For extra flavor, sauté onions or bell peppers and add them to the filling.
- To make ahead/freeze: assemble the filled biscuits, freeze unbaked on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag; add a few extra minutes to bake time when ready.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 8‑10 minutes.
