Why You’ll Love These French Dip Biscuits

This recipe delivers all the classic flavors of a French dip sandwich in an easy, baked version. The biscuits turn golden and fluffy while the roast beef and cheese melt together inside. A seasoned butter glaze brushed on top adds even more flavor and helps create a crisp, buttery finish.

They’re also versatile enough for busy weeknights, weekend lunches, party platters, or quick comfort food cravings.

What to Serve With Them

These biscuits pair well with a variety of sides depending on the occasion. Try serving them with:

• A fresh green salad
• Roasted vegetables
• Crispy fries or onion rings
• Tomato soup or vegetable soup
• Fresh fruit salad for a lighter balance

And of course, warm au jus is essential for dipping.

Ingredients

Makes 8 biscuits

• 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (16.3 ounces)
• 8 slices deli roast beef
• 8 slices provolone cheese
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup beef broth

How to Make Baked French Dip Biscuits

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2: Shape the Biscuits

Separate the biscuit dough into individual pieces. Gently flatten each biscuit with your hands to create enough space for the filling.

Step 3: Add the Filling

Place one slice of roast beef and one slice of provolone cheese in the center of each biscuit.

Fold the dough around the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal. Shape each into a ball and place seam-side down in the baking dish.

Step 4: Make the Butter Topping

In a small bowl, stir together:

• Melted butter
• Worcestershire sauce
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder
• Thyme
• Rosemary
• Salt
• Black pepper

Brush the mixture generously over the tops of the biscuits.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

The tops should look crisp and buttery, and the cheese inside should be melted.

Step 6: Prepare the Au Jus

While the biscuits bake, warm the beef broth in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling.

Serve the warm broth alongside the biscuits for dipping.

Storage Instructions

Refrigerator

Allow the biscuits to cool fully before storing.

• Place them in an airtight container
• Refrigerate for up to 4 days

Reheating

Oven:
Wrap in foil and heat at 325°F (165°C) for 10 to 12 minutes.

Microwave:
Warm for 30 to 45 seconds for a quicker option, though the biscuits may soften slightly.

Freezer

These biscuits freeze very well.

• Wrap each cooled biscuit individually
• Store in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container
• Freeze for up to 2 months

Reheating From Frozen

For best texture, thaw overnight in the refrigerator first.

You can also bake directly from frozen at 325°F for 20 to 25 minutes. Cover loosely with foil during the first half of baking to prevent over-browning.

Storing the Au Jus

Extra broth can be refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 3 days.

Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving again.

Variations and Easy Customizations

Different Cheese Options

Switch up the flavor with different cheeses:

• Swiss cheese for a classic deli taste
• Sharp cheddar for extra richness
• Pepper Jack for spice
• Mozzarella for a milder, stretchy texture

Try Different Meats

This recipe works well with several proteins:

• Leftover pot roast
• Thinly sliced prime rib
• Turkey and Swiss for a lighter version
• Pastrami or corned beef for deli-inspired flavor

Vegetarian Version

Skip the meat and fill the biscuits with:

• Sautéed mushrooms
• Caramelized onions
• Spinach
• Roasted red peppers

Add cheese for a hearty meatless option.

Add Some Heat

For a spicy twist:

• Add sliced jalapeños inside the biscuits
• Stir crushed red pepper flakes into the butter mixture
• Drizzle with hot sauce before serving

Helpful Tips for Best Results

• Avoid overfilling the biscuits or they may split open during baking
• Seal the dough tightly to keep the cheese from leaking
• A muffin tin can help keep the biscuits evenly shaped
• Brush extra butter mixture on top after baking for even more flavor
• Assemble ahead of time and refrigerate unbaked biscuits for up to 24 hours before baking
