Ingredients
Scale
- ½ lb (226 g) roast beef, deli thinly sliced
- 6 slices provolone or Swiss cheese, halved
- 1 can (16.3 oz or 462 g) Pillsbury Grands refrigerated biscuits
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) butter, melted
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 packet (1 oz or 28 g) au jus gravy mix
- 3 cups (710 ml) water
- ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Preparation: Position the oven rack centrally and preheat to 375F (190C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease to prevent adherence.
- Biscuit Modification: Unfurl biscuits and delicately flatten into circular shapes using fingertips, creating an ideal base for filling.
- Filling Assembly: Center a slice of roast beef and cheese half on each biscuit round, strategically positioning ingredients for optimal flavor distribution.
- Sealing Technique: Carefully fold biscuit edges inward, completely encapsulating meat and cheese. Firmly compress seams to create a robust seal, positioning packets seam-side down on prepared baking sheet.
- Flavor Enhancement: Lavishly coat biscuit surfaces with melted butter, then dust with garlic powder and finely chopped parsley to elevate taste complexity.
- Baking Process: Slide baking sheet into preheated oven and bake 12-15 minutes until biscuits transform into a rich golden-brown and feel thoroughly cooked.
- Au Jus Preparation: Simultaneously whisk au jus mix with water in a saucepan, bringing to a gentle simmer. Introduce Worcestershire sauce for additional flavor depth, maintaining a warm serving temperature.
- Serving Presentation: Extract biscuits from oven, allow brief resting moment, then serve immediately with individual warm au jus dipping bowls.
Notes
- Seal Carefully: Press biscuit edges firmly to prevent filling from leaking during baking, ensuring a tight seal for perfect presentation.
- Control Butter Brush: Apply melted butter sparingly to avoid soggy biscuits; aim for a light, even coating that creates a golden-brown crispy exterior.
- Check Doneness: Look for deep golden-brown color and firm texture; avoid underbaking which can leave dough raw in the center.
- Temperature Precision: Use middle oven rack to promote even heat distribution, preventing burned bottoms or undercooked tops.
