How to Make French Dip Biscuits

1. Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Biscuits

Split each biscuit in half horizontally to create a top and bottom layer. Spread a thin layer of horseradish sauce on each piece.

3. Assemble

On the bottom halves, layer:

• 1 slice of provolone cheese

• A portion of roast beef

Top with the remaining biscuit halves and gently press the edges to seal.

4. Bake

Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

5. Make the Au Jus

While the biscuits bake, prepare the au jus according to the package directions.

6. Serve & Enjoy

Serve the warm biscuits with a side of hot au jus for dipping—this is where the magic happens!

Pro Tips for the Best Results

• Don’t overfill or the biscuits may open while baking

• Press edges firmly to help seal in the filling

• Brush tops with melted butter right after baking for extra flavor

• Warm the roast beef slightly before assembling for a juicier bite

Variations & Add-Ons

• Spicy kick: Add more horseradish or a dash of Dijon mustard

• Garlic butter topping: Mix melted butter with garlic powder and parsley

• Cheese swap: Try Swiss or mozzarella instead of provolone

• Caramelized onions: Add for extra depth and sweetness

Storage & Reheating

• Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days

• Reheat in the oven at 350°F for best texture (avoid microwaving if possible)
