- Butter: For brushing the tops of the biscuits and giving them that perfect golden color.

Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps and you’ll have French Dip Biscuits on the table in no time:
1. Bake the Biscuits
Start by preheating your oven to the temperature specified on your biscuit dough package. Pop the biscuits onto a baking sheet and bake them according to the directions—until they’re golden brown and puffed up.
2. Prepare the Au Jus Sauce
While the biscuits are baking, heat a small saucepan over medium heat and add the beef broth. Stir in a pinch of garlic powder and onion powder. Let it simmer for a few minutes, then remove from heat. This will be your dipping sauce, so let it rest while you assemble the rest of the dish.
3. Assemble the Sandwiches
Once your biscuits are baked and golden, slice them in half. Layer each biscuit with a generous amount of roast beef and a slice of Swiss or provolone cheese. Feel free to add extra beef if you’re really hungry—go ahead, you deserve it!
4. Melt the Cheese
Place the assembled biscuits back into the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese. This will only take about 2-3 minutes, so keep an eye on them. The cheese should be gooey and perfectly melted.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Once the cheese is all melty and the biscuits are golden, remove them from the oven and place them on a platter. Serve immediately with the warm au jus sauce on the side for dipping. Let the dunking and enjoying begin!

How to Serve French Dip Biscuits
These French Dip Biscuits are perfect on their own, but here are a few side ideas to round out your meal:
- Crisp Salad: Pair them with a fresh, tangy salad to balance the richness of the biscuits and au jus.
- Roasted Veggies: Roasted carrots, zucchini, or even Brussels sprouts would complement the savory flavors perfectly.
- Fries or Chips: For a more classic take, serve with crispy fries or potato chips for that comforting crunch.
- Pickles: A side of crunchy dill pickles can provide a refreshing contrast to the richness of the biscuits.
Additional Tips
- Make It Ahead: You can prepare the au jus sauce ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Just heat it up when you’re ready to serve!
- Biscuits: If you’re using store-bought biscuits, you can brush the tops with a little melted butter and sprinkle garlic powder on top before baking for extra flavor.
- Leftovers: If you have any leftovers (which is rare, but hey, it could happen!), store the roast beef and cheese separately from the biscuits. Reheat the beef and cheese, then assemble fresh biscuits when you’re ready to eat.
FAQ Section
Q1: Can I use a different type of meat?
A1: Yes! You can use turkey, chicken, or even pulled pork instead of roast beef. The au jus sauce will still work beautifully with any of these options.
Q2: Can I make this recipe without the au jus sauce?

A3: Absolutely! Homemade biscuits will add a lovely touch, and they’re easy to make if you have the time.
