Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuits 16.3-oz, 8-count
  • 1 lb thinly sliced roast beef deli
  • 2 Tbsp creamy horseradish sauce or to taste
  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 packet Au Jus gravy mix 1-oz

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Stovetop / Cooktop
  • Saucepan
  • Whisk

Method
 

Biscuit Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven according to the instructions on the refrigerated biscuit packaging. Separate the biscuits and place them on a baking sheet.
  2. Place a slice of provolone cheese on half of the biscuits, then top with thinly sliced roast beef.
  3. Cover with the remaining biscuits to form biscuit sandwiches.
  4. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked.
Au Jus Preparation
  1. While the biscuits bake, prepare the au jus. In a small saucepan, whisk the au jus gravy mix with water (according to package instructions) until smooth.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Tip: For a richer flavor, simmer longer as noted in the tips section.
Assembly & Serving
  1. Once baked, serve the French Dip Biscuits hot with a small bowl of au jus for dipping.
  2. Optionally, spread creamy horseradish sauce inside the biscuits before adding the cheese and beef, or serve it on the side.
  3. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme for a nice visual touch, if desired.

Notes

For the best flavor, let the au jus simmer for at least 30 minutes to develop a rich, complex taste. Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your liking, or experiment by adding a splash of red wine for added depth. Serve the biscuits warm for the most satisfying experience.
