Ingredients

Scale

Biscuit Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 cup cold buttermilk

Filling and Sauce

  • Thinly sliced roast beef (about 8 ounces)
  • 2 cups beef broth or au jus
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Biscuit Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut the cold butter into small pieces and quickly work it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently just until the dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
  2. Shape and Bake the Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead a few times. Pat or roll the dough to about one-inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a round cutter. Place the biscuits close together on a baking sheet for soft sides, or spaced apart for crispier edges. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden brown on top.
  3. Warm the Roast Beef and Prepare Au Jus: While the biscuits bake, warm the thinly sliced roast beef in a skillet over medium heat. In a small saucepan, pour the beef broth and simmer until slightly reduced. Season with salt and pepper to taste. This will be used as the dipping au jus sauce.
  4. Assemble the French Dip Biscuits: Slice the warm biscuits in half and layer generous servings of roast beef inside. Serve immediately with small bowls of the hot au jus on the side for dipping, ensuring each bite is full of juicy, savory goodness.

Notes

  • Keep butter cold to ensure flaky biscuit layers.
  • Handle dough minimally to keep biscuits light and tender.
  • Warm roast beef gently just before assembling to avoid drying it out.
  • Use quality beef broth for a rich and flavorful au jus sauce.
  • Serve French Dip Biscuits immediately to preserve texture and juiciness.
