Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits and Filling
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough, 8 count
- 1 pound thinly sliced deli roast beef
- 8 slices provolone cheese, halved or quartered
- 2 tablespoons creamy horseradish sauce
Au Jus
- 1 packet au jus gravy mix
- Water, for preparing au jus per packet instructions
For Brushing
- Melted butter, for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Biscuits: Separate the biscuit dough and carefully split each biscuit in half horizontally. Gently flatten each piece into approximately a 3-inch diameter circle for easier assembly.
- Add Horseradish Sauce: Spread a thin layer of creamy horseradish sauce on the bottom halves of the biscuit dough circles to add a tangy kick and extra moisture.
- Assemble Filling: Place slices of thinly sliced roast beef followed by the halved or quartered provolone cheese onto each bottom biscuit half.
- Seal Biscuits: Place the remaining biscuit halves over the filling and gently press the edges together to seal the sandwiches, preventing the filling from leaking during baking.
- Brush with Butter: Brush the tops of the assembled biscuits with melted butter. This will give them a beautiful golden brown color and a rich flavor.
- Bake Biscuits: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12 to 18 minutes or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Prepare Au Jus: While the biscuits are baking, prepare the au jus dipping sauce by combining the packet of au jus gravy mix with water as per the package instructions. Heat the mixture until hot and ready for serving.
- Serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and serve them warm with the prepared au jus sauce for dipping, enhancing the flavor and providing a moist finish.
Notes
- You can substitute provolone with Swiss or mozzarella cheese if desired.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, omit the horseradish sauce or reduce the amount used.
- For a crispier crust, brush the biscuits with melted butter halfway through baking as well.
- Using freshly sliced roast beef from your deli will enhance the flavor even more than pre-packaged meat.
- Ensure the au jus is hot before serving for the best dipping experience.
