Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Cheese:
- ½ pound (226 grams) deli roast beef, thinly sliced
- 6 slices provolone or Swiss cheese, cut in half
Biscuits:
- 1 can (16.3 ounces or 462 grams) refrigerated biscuits (Pillsbury Grands)
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Garnish and Au Jus:
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 packet (1 ounce or 28 grams) au jus gravy mix
- 3 cups (710 milliliters) water
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Arrange the oven rack in the middle position and heat to 375F (190C). Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper or apply a light cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Carefully unfold each biscuit and gently press them into slightly flattened circles using fingertips.
- Position a slice of roast beef and half a cheese slice at the center of each biscuit round, ensuring even distribution.
- Carefully fold the biscuit edges inward, completely encasing the meat and cheese filling. Firmly press the seams together to create a secure seal, then place each packet seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Generously brush the biscuit tops with melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic powder and finely chopped parsley to enhance flavor profiles.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the biscuits achieve a rich golden-brown color and feel completely cooked through.
- During baking, prepare the au jus by whisking the mix with water in a saucepan. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer and incorporate Worcestershire sauce for additional depth. Maintain the sauce at a warm temperature.
- Remove biscuits from the oven and let rest for a brief moment. Serve immediately alongside small individual bowls of warm au jus for dipping.
Notes
- Maximize flavor by using high-quality roast beef from the deli counter for a richer taste profile.
- Prevent biscuit leakage by ensuring edges are thoroughly sealed and pressed together before baking.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like provolone or Swiss for unique flavor variations.
- Make gluten-free by substituting regular biscuits with gluten-free biscuit dough and using gluten-free au jus mix.
