Description
Flaky, buttery biscuits stuffed with tender roast beef, served with a hot, savory au jus for dipping.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp sugar (optional)
- 1/2 cup (115 g) cold unsalted butter, grated
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) cold whole milk or buttermilk
- 1 to 1.25 lb sliced roast beef
- 2 cups (480 ml) beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- Pan drippings
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Grate the cold butter and add it to the dry ingredients, mixing gently.
- Gradually add cold milk or buttermilk until dough comes together.
- Pat or roll the dough to about 1-inch thickness and cut into rounds.
- Place biscuits on a heavy baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden.
- While biscuits bake, simmer the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and pan drippings to make au jus.
- Once baked, slice warm biscuits, fill with thinly sliced roast beef, and serve with hot au jus for dipping.
Notes
Slightly underbaking the biscuits yields a softer interior that absorbs jus beautifully. Use cold ingredients for flaky layers.
