Ingredients List

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
3/4 cup milk
1 pound thinly sliced roast beef
1 cup beef broth
1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder

How to Prepare Baked French Dip Biscuits

Step-by-Step Instructions

First things first, go ahead and preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is crucial because you want those biscuits to bake perfectly!
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Give it a good stir to mix everything together.
Now, take 1/4 cup of cold, cubed unsalted butter and toss it into the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter in until the mixture is crumbly—it should look a bit like coarse sand.
Next, pour in 3/4 cup of milk and stir gently until just combined. Don’t overmix; we want those biscuits to be light and fluffy!
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick. You can use a rolling pin or your hands. Then, cut out circles using a biscuit cutter or a glass.
Take half of the biscuit circles and place them on a baking sheet. Now, pile on some of that delicious thinly sliced roast beef (about 1 pound) and sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded provolone cheese.
Top with the remaining biscuit circles and press the edges to seal them. You don’t want any filling escaping during baking!
Pop these bad boys into your preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and puffed up. Oh, the smell is going to be heavenly!
While the biscuits are baking, heat 1 cup of beef broth along with 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder in a small saucepan. This will be your dipping sauce.
Once the biscuits are out of the oven, serve them warm with the broth on the side for dipping. Enjoy every savory bite!

Tips for Success

Alright, let’s take your baked French dip biscuits to the next level with some pro tips! Trust me, these little nuggets of wisdom will make all the difference.

Chill the butter: Make sure your butter is really cold when you add it to the flour. This helps to create those flaky layers we all love in biscuits. If you have time, you can even pop it in the freezer for a few minutes before cutting it into the flour mixture.
Dough handling: When rolling out your dough, don’t overwork it! The more you handle the dough, the tougher your biscuits will be. Just roll it out gently until it’s about 1/2 inch thick, and then cut your circles.
Adjust seasonings: Feel free to tweak the seasoning to your liking! If you’re a garlic lover, go ahead and add a bit more garlic powder or even some minced fresh garlic. You can also sprinkle in some Italian herbs for an extra flavor boost!
Baking times: Keep an eye on your biscuits as they bake. Ovens can vary, so start checking around the 15-minute mark. You want them to be golden brown and puffed up—yum!
Experiment with fillings: Don’t be afraid to get creative! Swap out the roast beef for turkey or even a veggie option like mushrooms and spinach. Different cheeses can also bring a fun twist; try cheddar or mozzarella!

With these tips in your back pocket, you’ll be whipping up the best baked French dip biscuits in no time. Happy baking!

Variations

If you’re anything like me, you love to get creative in the kitchen! Thankfully, baked French dip biscuits are super versatile, and you can easily switch things up to keep it exciting. Here are some fun variations to try:

Alternative meats: Swap out the roast beef for thinly sliced turkey or ham for a different flavor profile. You could even go for a pulled pork option if you’re feeling adventurous!
Cheese swaps: While provolone is delicious, you might want to experiment with other cheeses. Try sharp cheddar for a bolder taste, or creamy mozzarella for that extra gooeyness. Goat cheese adds a lovely tang too!
Herb and spice additions: Want to elevate the flavor? Mix in fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme into the biscuit dough. For a little kick, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes or smoked paprika for a smoky depth.
Veggie-packed: For a meatless twist, fill your biscuits with sautéed mushrooms, spinach, and artichokes. Top it off with a sprinkle of feta for a Mediterranean vibe!
Sweet and savory: If you’re in the mood for something unexpected, try adding a smear of Dijon mustard or even a bit of caramelized onion in with the meat and cheese. The sweet and savory combo is simply to die for!

These variations are a great way to make the recipe your own and cater to everyone’s taste buds. So go ahead and get creative; your taste test will be delightful, I promise!

Storage & Reheating Instructions

Now, let’s talk about how to keep those delicious baked French dip biscuits fresh and ready for your next craving! I know it can be tempting to finish them all in one go, but if you happen to have some leftovers (which is rare, trust me!), here’s how to store them properly.

Storing leftovers: Allow the biscuits to cool completely before storing them. Then, place them in an airtight container. They’ll keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them!
Freezing: If you choose to freeze, wrap each biscuit tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They should last about 2 months in the freezer. Just make sure to label it with the date so you know when they were made!

When you’re ready to enjoy your leftovers, here’s how to reheat them:

Oven method: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and cover them loosely with aluminum foil to prevent them from browning too much. Heat for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through. This method helps to keep them nice and flaky!
Microwave method: If you’re in a hurry, you can pop one in the microwave. Just place it on a microwave-safe plate and cover it with a damp paper towel to keep it from drying out. Heat for about 20-30 seconds, checking to make sure it’s hot but not rubbery.

And there you have it! With these storage and reheating tips, you can savor those baked French dip biscuits whenever the craving hits. Enjoy every last bite!
