Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits and Filling
- 1 (16.3-oz) can refrigerated biscuits (8-count)
- 1 lb thinly sliced deli roast beef
- 2 Tbsp creamy horseradish sauce (adjust to taste)
- 8 slices provolone cheese
Au Jus Sauce
- 1 (1-oz) packet Au Jus Gravy mix
- Water according to package instructions (usually about 2 cups)
- Optional: 1 Tbsp butter (for richer au jus)
Finishing
- Melted butter for brushing (about 2 Tbsp)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Assemble the Biscuits: Gently separate each biscuit into two thinner layers, creating 16 biscuit halves. Spread each half with creamy horseradish sauce to add a tangy, slightly spicy flavor.
- Layer the Filling: On half of the biscuit layers, place one slice of provolone cheese followed by a generous portion of thinly sliced roast beef. Top each with the remaining biscuit halves and pinch the edges tightly to seal the filling inside.
- Bake to Perfection: Arrange the assembled biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed up beautifully.
- Prepare the Au Jus: While the biscuits are baking, prepare the au jus gravy according to the package instructions, typically mixing the gravy packet with water and simmering until thickened. Optionally, stir in a tablespoon of butter for extra richness.
- Serve Hot: Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for a glossy finish and added flavor. Serve the biscuits hot alongside the warm au jus sauce for dipping, enhancing each bite with savory juices.
Notes
- For an extra kick, increase the horseradish sauce slightly or add a dash of hot sauce.
- Use a good quality deli roast beef for the best flavor and tenderness.
- You can prepare the au jus a day ahead and reheat before serving.
- Brush with garlic butter instead of plain melted butter for a garlicky twist.
- These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh but can be wrapped and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
