- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
