Ingredients

Scale

Biscuits and Filling

1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 count, preferably ‘grands’ style)
½ lb deli roast beef, chopped (thickly sliced – #1 thickness)
1 cup shredded provolone or Swiss cheese

Dip

1 packet au jus gravy mix
Water or beef broth (as per au jus packet directions, usually about 2 cups)

Finishing Touches

2 tbsp butter, melted
Optional: garlic powder or dried parsley for brushing
Optional: splash of Worcestershire sauce and pinch of cracked black pepper for au jus enhancement

Instructions

Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleaning.
Flatten Dough: Open the biscuit can and separate the dough onto a clean surface. Using your fingers or palm, gently flatten each biscuit into approximately 4-inch circles, preserving their layers for flakiness.
Stuff & Seal: Place about 1½ to 2 tablespoons of chopped roast beef and a pinch of shredded cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit. Carefully bring the edges together over the filling and pinch firmly to seal the pockets. Roll gently to form smooth balls and place them seam-side down on the baking sheet to keep them sealed.
Brush & Bake: Brush each biscuit generously with melted butter. If desired, sprinkle a light dusting of garlic powder or dried parsley on top for added flavor and visual appeal. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until biscuits are puffed up and golden brown.
Prepare Au Jus: While biscuits bake, prepare the au jus by whisking the gravy mix with water or beef broth according to the packet instructions. For a richer flavor, add a splash of Worcestershire sauce and cracked black pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low to keep warm.
Serve Immediately: When the biscuits come out golden and hot, arrange them on a serving platter. Pour the warm au jus into a small bowl or ramekins for dipping. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious combination of flaky biscuit, savory roast beef, melty cheese, and flavorful dip.

Notes

Don’t overfill the biscuits to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
Always place biscuits seam-side down on the baking sheet to secure the seal.
You can assemble the biscuits ahead of time; refrigerate for up to 24 hours or freeze unbaked for up to 3 months.
To bake from frozen, add 5–7 minutes to the baking time.
Reheat leftovers in an air fryer or toaster oven at 350°F for 5–8 minutes to maintain crispiness; microwaving will soften the biscuits.
Use homemade biscuit dough if desired, adjusting baking time as needed to achieve golden color and puffiness.
