Baked French Dip Biscuits take all the rich, savory, umami-packed flavors of a classic French dip roast beef sandwich and wrap them into a warm, flaky, pull-apart biscuit bake. Instead of spending hours braising a roast, this quick weeknight-friendly version uses tender deli roast beef, melty provolone cheese, and buttery biscuits, served alongside a warm, savory au jus for dipping.
Here is how to make an incredible batch of Baked French Dip Biscuits at home:
Ingredients
-
1 Can (16.3 oz) Refrigerated Jumbo Biscuits: (Such as Grands! butter-tastin’ or buttermilk biscuits).
-
1 lb Quality Deli Roast Beef: Thinly sliced.
-
8 Slices Provolone Cheese: (Swiss or white cheddar also work well if you prefer).
-
For the Butter Glaze:
-
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
-
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
-
A pinch of dried parsley and black pepper
-
For the Au Jus (Dip):
-
2 cups good-quality beef broth or beef bone broth
-
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
-
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce (for depth of flavor)
-
1 clove smashed garlic
-
Salt and pepper to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions
1.Prep and Split the Biscuits:Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Separate the jumbo biscuits and carefully split each raw biscuit horizontally into two thinner rounds, giving you a total of 16 thinner circles.
2.Build the Base:Layer the bottom crust.
Press half of the biscuit rounds flat into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, pressing the edges slightly together to form a continuous bottom crust.
3.Add Roast Beef and Cheese:Stack the savory filling.
Layer the thinly sliced roast beef evenly over the bottom biscuit dough. Lay the provolone cheese slices directly on top of the beef, ensuring the meat is thoroughly covered in melty goodness.
4.Add the Top Crust and Glaze:Top and seal the bake.
Place the remaining biscuit rounds over the cheese layer. Whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, parsley, and pepper. Brush this savory glaze generously over the top of the biscuits.
5.Bake to Perfection:Bake until golden and bubbly.
Bake uncovered at 375°F (190°C) for 22 to 26 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed, thoroughly cooked through in the center, and deeply golden brown. (If the tops brown too fast, tent loosely with foil for the last 5 minutes).
6.Make the Au Jus:Simmer the savory dip.
While the biscuits bake, combine the beef broth, 1 tablespoon butter, soy sauce/Worcestershire, and smashed garlic in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes to concentrate the flavors, then strain into small bowls for dipping.
Serving Suggestions
Let the biscuit bake rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm with individual bowls of the steaming au jus for an unforgettable, flavor-packed dipping experience.
