Ingredients
Scale
Biscuit Base
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 large biscuits)
Filling
- ½ pound deli roast beef, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
Topping
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Au Jus
- 1 packet au jus mix, prepared according to package directions
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Biscuits: Split each biscuit in half horizontally and gently flatten each half slightly to create a wider surface for layering.
- Layer Filling: On the bottom half of each biscuit, layer thinly sliced roast beef followed by shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese. Then, place the top half of the biscuit over the filling and pinch the edges firmly to seal the filling inside.
- Arrange Biscuits: Place the stuffed biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out slightly to allow for expansion during baking.
- Add Toppings: Brush the tops of each biscuit with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, dried Italian seasoning, and sesame seeds if using to add extra flavor and texture.
- Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Prepare Au Jus: While the biscuits are baking, prepare the au jus mix according to the package directions to make a warm dipping sauce.
- Serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and serve warm alongside the au jus for dipping, enhancing the classic French dip experience.
Notes
- For extra flavor, spread a thin layer of horseradish sauce or Dijon mustard inside the biscuits before adding roast beef and cheese.
- Leftover biscuits can be reheated in the oven to maintain their crispy texture.
