Ingredients
Scale
For the Stuffed Biscuits:
- 1 can (8 biscuits) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 lb roast beef, thinly sliced
- 4 oz provolone cheese, sliced
- 1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Au Jus:
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Sauté Onions: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized, enhancing their natural sweetness.
- Warm Roast Beef and Season: Add the sliced roast beef to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, just warming it through. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to infuse the beef with rich, savory flavors. Remove the skillet from heat.
- Prepare Biscuit Dough: Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit slightly into a disk shape using your fingers or a rolling pin, making it easier to fold over the filling.
- Assemble Stuffed Biscuits: Place a slice of provolone cheese on each flattened biscuit, then top with a spoonful of the beef and onion mixture. Fold the biscuit dough over the filling and pinch the edges securely to seal and contain the savory filling.
- Arrange Biscuits on Baking Sheet: Place the stuffed biscuits seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch for even cooking.
- Bake Biscuits: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are puffed up, golden brown, and fully cooked through.
- Prepare Au Jus: While the biscuits bake, combine beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Simmer Au Jus: Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to concentrate the flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Serve the warm French Dip Stuffed Biscuits hot with the au jus on the side for dipping, providing a juicy and flavorful complement to the biscuits.
Notes
- You can substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella or Swiss cheese if preferred.
- For extra flavor, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the beef mixture before stuffing the biscuits.
- Leftover biscuited can be reheated in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes.
- Use fresh herbs instead of dried thyme if available, adjusting the quantity to 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme.
- To make the recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free biscuit dough and ensure all sauces are gluten-free.
- The au jus can be prepared ahead and reheated gently before serving.
