French Dip Bicuits

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a large rimmed baking sheet or line it with parchment paper to prevent the cheese from sticking.

2. Assemble the Base

Separate the biscuits and press them into flat squares, or lay out your pastry sheet. If using biscuits, place half of the flattened dough rounds onto the baking sheet, spaced evenly apart.

3. Layer the Savory Filling

Place a portion of roast beef and a piece of Provolone cheese onto each dough base. If you are using caramelized onions, add a small spoonful on top of the beef.

4. Seal and Top

Place the remaining dough squares over the filling, pinching the edges firmly to seal the sandwich. Brush the tops with melted butter mixed with garlic powder. Generously sprinkle the shredded cheese over each biscuit square.

5. The Golden Bake

Bake for 15–18 minutes. You are looking for a deep golden-brown color on the dough and a bubbly, slightly browned cheese crust on the surface.

The Au Jus & Serving Tips

Making the Perfect Dipping Sauce

While the biscuits are in the oven, combine the beef consommé, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 5–10 minutes to concentrate the flavors. Serve the hot au jus in individual small ramekins for easy dipping.

Final Garnishing

Once the biscuits are removed from the oven, immediately sprinkle them with fresh chopped parsley. The heat from the cheese will help the herbs stick and release their aroma.

Expert Tips for Success

Avoid Soggy Bottoms: Ensure your roast beef is patted dry with a paper towel before placing it on the dough to prevent excess moisture from leaking out.

Cheese Choice: Using a high-moisture cheese like mozzarella on top helps achieve that beautiful, stretchy crust seen in the images.

Uniformity: Try to keep the biscuit squares roughly the same size so they bake at the same rate.
