How to Make French Dip Biscuits Step by Step

1. Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Biscuits

Separate each biscuit and carefully split it in half horizontally, like you’re making a tiny sandwich bun. If the dough is sticky, a light dusting of flour helps.

3. Fill with Roast Beef and Cheese

Layer a small portion of roast beef onto the bottom half of each biscuit. Top with a piece of provolone cheese. Don’t overfill—you want them to close easily.

Place the top half of the biscuit back on and gently press the edges together.

4. Arrange in Baking Dish

Place the stuffed biscuits seam-side down in your prepared dish, leaving a little space between each one.

5. Brush with Garlic Butter

In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, parsley, and any optional seasonings. Brush generously over the tops of the biscuits. This step adds incredible flavor and that gorgeous golden finish.

6. Bake

Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown. The cheese should be melted and slightly bubbly inside.

7. Make the Au Jus

While the biscuits bake, prepare the au jus according to package instructions—usually by whisking the mix with water in a saucepan and simmering for a few minutes.

8. Serve Warm and Dip!

Serve the biscuits warm with small bowls of au jus for dipping. Watching that first dunk is so satisfying.

What to Serve with French Dip Biscuits

These are hearty on their own, but if you’re building a full meal, try pairing them with:

• A crisp green salad with balsamic vinaigrette
• Roasted vegetables
• Classic coleslaw
• Sweet potato fries
• A warm bowl of tomato soup

For parties, serve them alongside sliders, wings, and veggie trays for the ultimate comfort food spread.

Storage Instructions

If you somehow have leftovers (rare in my house!):

• Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Warm in a 350°F oven for 8–10 minutes to keep them crisp.
• Freeze: Wrap individually and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen in the oven.

Store au jus separately in the refrigerator and reheat gently on the stove.

General Information About French Dip Biscuits

French dip sandwiches originated in Los Angeles in the early 1900s, traditionally served on crusty French rolls with beef drippings for dipping. This biscuit version keeps the rich, savory heart of the sandwich but transforms it into a softer, more comforting bake-style dish.

It’s the kind of recipe that feels nostalgic and modern all at once.

Conclusion: A Comfort Food Classic Reinvented

French Dip Biscuits take everything we adore about a traditional French dip sandwich and turn it into a warm, buttery, pull-apart delight that’s easy to make and impossible to resist. They’re simple, satisfying, and perfect for sharing—whether it’s a busy weeknight or a casual gathering with friends.
