Baked French Dip Biscuits

For the Au Jus (Optional for dipping):

• 1 1/2 cups beef broth
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Optional Topping:

• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Fresh parsley, chopped

Step-by-Step Method

1. Prepare the Biscuits Dough

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Pour in the milk gradually and stir until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep biscuits fluffy.

2. Caramelize the Onions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the sliced onions with a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8–10 minutes until the onions are soft, golden, and sweetly caramelized. Set aside.

3. Assemble the Biscuits

1. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thick.
2. Cut the dough into 3-inch rounds using a biscuit cutter or glass.
3. Place a small layer of roast beef, a pinch of cheese, and some caramelized onions in the center of each round.
4. Fold the biscuit over to create a half-moon or envelope shape and press the edges gently to seal.

4. Bake to Golden Perfection

1. Arrange the filled biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
2. Optional: Brush the tops with melted butter for extra golden color.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and lightly golden.

5. Prepare the Au Jus (Optional)

1. While the biscuits bake, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder in a small saucepan.
2. Heat over medium until warm, then reduce slightly for a more concentrated flavor. Serve as a dipping sauce for your biscuits.

6. Serve and Enjoy

• Arrange the baked French Dip Biscuits on a platter.
• Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
• Serve immediately with warm au jus on the side.

Tips for Perfect French Dip Biscuits

• Cold butter is key: It ensures a flaky, tender biscuit.
• Don’t overfill: Too much beef or cheese can make the biscuits difficult to seal.
• Use good-quality roast beef: Thinly sliced deli-style roast beef works best.
• Make-ahead option: You can assemble the biscuits and refrigerate them for up to 2 hours before baking.

These Baked French Dip Biscuits are a delicious twist on the classic sandwich, combining the buttery, flaky texture of biscuits with the savory richness of roast beef and caramelized onions. Perfect for family dinners, parties, or an indulgent snack, they’ll disappear fast—especially when paired with a warm bowl of au jus.
