Ingredients
Scale
For the Biscuits and Filling
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 pound thinly sliced roast beef (deli-style or leftover)
- 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated flaky biscuits
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
For the Au Jus
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Sauté Onions: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add thinly sliced onions and sauté for 5–6 minutes until soft and lightly caramelized, developing a sweet flavor base for the filling.
- Add Flavorings and Beef: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and dried thyme. Add the thinly sliced roast beef and toss everything together, warming the beef through. Remove skillet from heat.
- Prepare Biscuits: Separate each biscuit into two layers to make 16 rounds in total. Place half of these rounds on the prepared baking sheet as the base layer.
- Assemble Biscuits: Spoon a small amount of the beef-onion mixture on each biscuit base, then sprinkle with shredded cheese. Cover each with the remaining biscuit rounds and pinch the edges to seal the filling inside.
- Brush and Season: Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter and sprinkle with onion powder to enhance browning and add flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 13–16 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Make Au Jus: While the biscuits bake, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes to develop the dipping sauce.
- Serve: Remove biscuits from the oven and serve warm with the au jus on the side for dipping.
Notes
- You can prepare the beef and onion filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until you are ready to assemble the biscuits.
- Feel free to swap out the cheese for a different variety such as cheddar or Swiss, or use crescent roll dough instead of biscuits for a different texture.
- Leftover stuffed biscuits reheat well in a toaster oven, making them perfect for quick snacks or lunches.
