Ingredients

For the Biscuits:

  • 1 can (8 count) refrigerated biscuit dough

  • 1 lb thinly sliced roast beef (deli-style or leftover)

  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese (or Swiss cheese)

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Au Jus Sauce:

  • 1 cup beef broth

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Substitutions

  • Roast beef: You can substitute with other types of cooked meats, such as deli turkey or chicken, for a different flavor profile.

  • Cheese: Swiss cheese, cheddar, or mozzarella can be used instead of provolone for different variations.

  • Biscuits: If you prefer homemade, you can substitute with your favorite biscuit recipe or use crescent roll dough as an alternative.

  • Beef broth: For a lighter version, use chicken broth instead of beef broth in the au jus sauce.

How to Make Baked French Dip Biscuits

  1. Prepare the biscuits: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Use a rolling pin to gently flatten each biscuit into a larger round shape.

  2. Assemble the filling: On each biscuit, spread a small amount of Dijon mustard (if using), then layer with a few slices of roast beef and top with a generous amount of shredded cheese.

  3. Form the biscuits: Carefully fold the sides of the biscuit around the filling, pinching the edges together to seal the biscuits. Place each stuffed biscuit seam-side down on a greased baking sheet.

  4. Brush with olive oil: Lightly brush the top of each biscuit with olive oil to help it brown during baking.

  5. Bake the biscuits: Place the biscuits in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.

  6. Prepare the au jus sauce: While the biscuits are baking, combine the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

  7. Serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and serve hot with the au jus sauce for dipping.

Mix-ins

  • Onions: Sautéed onions can be added inside the biscuit before baking for a classic French dip flavor.

  • Mushrooms: Add sautéed mushrooms to the filling for an earthy depth of flavor.

  • Horseradish sauce: Add a touch of horseradish sauce inside the biscuit for a spicy kick.

Recipe Tips

  • Biscuit dough: For a flakier biscuit, try using a homemade biscuit dough or a higher-quality store-bought version.

  • Roast beef: Make sure the roast beef is thinly sliced for easy folding and to ensure a tender bite.

  • Au jus sauce: If you prefer a thicker au jus sauce, you can add a small cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) to thicken it while simmering.

Storage

Store leftover Baked French Dip Biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, wrap the biscuits in foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until warmed through.

Recipe Variations

  • BBQ French Dip Biscuits: For a smoky twist, drizzle barbecue sauce over the roast beef before sealing the biscuits.

  • Vegetarian French Dip: Use vegetarian deli slices and a plant-based cheese to create a vegetarian version of this dish.

  • Mini French Dip Biscuits: Make mini-sized versions by using small biscuit dough or cutting larger biscuits in half to serve as sliders for appetizers or parties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I prepare the Baked French Dip Biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble the biscuits up to 24 hours in advance. After assembling, place the filled biscuits on a baking sheet, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. When ready to bake, add a few extra minutes to the baking time, checking for golden brown tops and melted cheese. You can also freeze the unbaked biscuits for up to a month; bake them straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

What are some good substitutions for the roast beef and cheese in this recipe?
Absolutely! For the roast beef, you can substitute with deli turkey or chicken, using approximately 1 pound of thinly sliced meat. For the cheese, Swiss cheese, cheddar, or mozzarella are all excellent alternatives to provolone, using about 1 cup of shredded cheese. These substitutions will alter the flavor profile slightly, but the overall deliciousness of the Baked French Dip Biscuits will remain.

How do I know when the Baked French Dip Biscuits are perfectly cooked?
The biscuits are perfectly cooked when they are golden brown on top and the cheese inside is fully melted and gooey. You should also see steam escaping from the sides of the biscuits. A visual cue is the golden-brown color on the exterior. You can also use a thermometer; the internal temperature of the biscuits should be around 200°F (93°C) when fully cooked.

Can I scale this recipe up to make more Baked French Dip Biscuits?
Yes, you can easily double or triple the recipe! When doubling, you’ll need two cans of biscuit dough (16 biscuits) and approximately 2 pounds of roast beef and 2 cups of cheese. You may need to use two baking sheets or bake the biscuits in batches. For the au jus sauce, double the beef broth and other ingredients accordingly. Increase the baking time slightly if baking a larger batch.

What are the nutritional highlights of the Baked French Dip Biscuits?
These biscuits provide protein from the roast beef and cheese, contributing to muscle building and satiety. The beef broth offers some iron, and the biscuits themselves provide carbohydrates for energy. The provolone cheese contributes calcium for bone health. Consider the addition of vegetables or a side salad to boost the nutritional value further.
