Instructions
-
Preheat oven:
-
425°F (220°C).
-
Grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
-
-
Prepare biscuit dough:
-
In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
-
Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Stir in shredded cheese.
-
Add milk and stir until just combined.
-
-
Shape biscuits:
-
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet (or roll and cut into rounds).
-
Bake 12–15 minutes, until golden brown.
-
-
Prepare au jus:
-
In a small saucepan, heat beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over medium heat.
-
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Keep warm for dipping.
-
-
Assemble French Dip biscuits (optional):
-
Slice biscuits in half.
-
Add roast beef and cheese if desired.
-
Serve with warm au jus on the side for dipping.
-
💡 Tips:
-
For extra flavor, brush biscuit tops with melted butter mixed with garlic and herbs before baking.
-
These biscuits are best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes.
-
You can use leftover roast beef or deli-style roast beef for a quick version.
I can also give a cheesy, pull-apart French Dip biscuit bake version that layers biscuits, beef, and cheese in a casserole-style dish. Do you want that version?
