French Dip Biscuits

French Dip Biscuits are a warm, savory sandwich combining fluffy, buttery biscuits with tender roast beef and rich au jus for dipping. Perfect for cozy meals, game days, or casual gatherings, this easy-to-make recipe delivers comforting flavors and versatile options to suit any taste.

Ingredients

Biscuits

  • Flaky, buttery biscuit dough (made with all-purpose flour, cold butter, milk or buttermilk)
  • Butter for brushing on top before baking
  • Optional fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme) for herbed biscuits

Roast Beef

  • Thinly sliced, tender roast beef (deli-style or leftover roast)
  • Optional: Provolone or Swiss cheese slices

Au Jus

  • Beef broth or prepared au jus
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Seasonings

  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the biscuit dough: Combine dry biscuit ingredients in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly add milk or buttermilk, stirring gently until the dough forms. Handle lightly to keep biscuits fluffy.
  2. Shape and bake the biscuits: Turn dough onto a floured surface and pat into a rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter to cut rounds, place on baking sheet, and brush with melted butter. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  3. Prepare the roast beef and au jus: Warm sliced roast beef in a skillet just until heated through. In another pan, bring beef broth or au jus to a simmer, adding garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper for extra flavor. Keep warm for dipping.
  4. Assemble the French Dip Biscuits: Slice biscuits in half horizontally, layer with generous portions of warm roast beef, and optionally add cheese slices. Place under the broiler for about a minute to melt cheese. Serve immediately with hot au jus on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Keep butter cold to ensure flaky biscuit layers.
  • Do not over-handle dough to avoid tough biscuits.
  • Use quality, thinly sliced roast beef for best texture and flavor.
  • Season au jus well to enhance its richness.
  • Serve sandwiches immediately for optimal taste and texture.
