Description

These French Dip Biscuits are a delicious twist on the classic French dip sandwich, featuring tender roast beef and caramelized onions sandwiched between flaky buttermilk biscuits and melted provolone cheese. Served with warm beef consomme for dipping, this hearty appetizer or snack is perfect for sharing and impressing guests with rich flavors and comforting textures.

Ingredients

For the Biscuits

  • 1 can (8-count) Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits (not flaky)
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 large yellow onion (halved, thinly sliced)
  • 1 pound deli roast beef (thinly sliced)
  • 8 slices provolone cheese (quartered)

For the Consomme Dip

  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) beef consomme

Instructions

  1. Caramelize Onions: In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the thinly sliced yellow onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly browned and soft, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Prepare Biscuits: Separate the biscuits into individual pieces. Then, split each biscuit into two halves to total 16 pieces. Roll each half out to approximately 4 inches wide for ample filling space. Arrange 8 of the biscuit halves on the lined baking sheet.
  4. Assemble Biscuits: Evenly distribute the caramelized onions and deli roast beef over the 8 biscuit halves arranged on the baking sheet. Top each with four quarter pieces of provolone cheese, slightly stacking them for a melty, cheesy layer. Place the remaining biscuit halves on top of each to form a sandwich, slightly pressing the edges together to seal.
  5. Brush with Egg Wash: Using a pastry brush, coat the tops of the biscuit sandwiches with the beaten egg. This will give them a beautiful golden finish once baked.
  6. Bake the Biscuits: Place the prepared baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the biscuits turn golden brown and are cooked through.
  7. Heat Beef Consomme: While the biscuits bake, pour the beef consomme into a medium saucepan and warm it over medium heat. Heat for 3-5 minutes until hot but not boiling.
  8. Serve: Once baked, serve the French Dip Biscuits warm alongside the heated beef consomme for dipping. Enjoy the rich, savory combination of flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh buttermilk biscuits (not flaky ones) for best texture and structure.
  • Caramelizing onions adds depth and sweetness that balances the savory beef.
  • Roll out the biscuit halves evenly to ensure the sandwich seals well and holds the filling.
  • The beef consomme serves as a flavorful dipping sauce; keep it warm for the best experience.
  • Feel free to substitute provolone with Swiss or mozzarella cheese if desired.
