These French Dip Biscuits are packed with flaky biscuits, savory roast beef, melty provolone, and a kick of horseradish, all served with rich Au Jus for the ultimate dipping experience!
You know those days when you want comfort food but also don’t want to commit to something that requires a fork, knife, and a ridiculous amount of napkins? That’s exactly where these French Dip Biscuits come in.
I’ll never forget the first time I had a real French dip sandwich—sitting in one of those old-school diners, where the menu hasn’t changed in 30 years and the coffee is always just okay. The sandwich, though? Absolute perfection. Crispy baguette, melt-in-your-mouth roast beef, gooey provolone, and that rich, beefy Au Jus that somehow makes everything taste ten times better.
But let’s be real. Crusty baguettes are great… until they aren’t. Ever try eating a French dip in a hurry? It’s messy. That’s why I had to come up with a version that captured the savory, melty, dunkable goodness of the original, but in a smaller, less chaotic package.
Enter these French Dip Biscuits—warm, flaky, and stuffed with roast beef and provolone, all wrapped up in buttery biscuits. And that Au Jus? Still here, still essential. Because let’s be honest—it’s not a French dip without the dip.

Ingredient Notes:
Every great recipe starts with great ingredients—here’s why these matter:
- Refrigerated Biscuits – No need for homemade dough. These bake up golden, buttery, and flaky with zero effort.
- Deli Roast Beef – The thinner, the better! It folds beautifully inside the biscuits without making them bulky.
- Provolone Cheese – Melts like a dream. But if you’re feeling wild, Swiss, mozzarella, or cheddar would also work.
- Creamy Horseradish Sauce – Adds a little zing to cut through the richness. Don’t like heat? Swap it for Dijon mustard or just skip it.
- Au Jus Gravy Mix – The key to that signature French dip flavor. Just mix with water, heat, and you’re good to go!
How To Make French Dip Biscuits?
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Fire up your oven to 400ºF and line a baking sheet with
Step 2: Prep the Biscuits
Crack open that can of refrigerated biscuits (and try not to flinch when it pops). Carefully split each biscuit in half so you have two thinner circles.
Spread a little horseradish sauce on each half. Want more heat? Go for it! Prefer mild? Just skip it.
Step 3: Stuff ‘Em Up
On one half of each biscuit, lay down a slice of provolone cheese and a generous amount of roast beef. Then, top it with the other half and press the edges together gently to seal.
Step 4: Bake Until Golden
Want To Save This Recipe?
Arrange the biscuits on the lined baking sheet, making sure they have some space to puff up. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown, cheesy, and begging to be eaten.
Step 5: Make the Au Jus
While your biscuits bake, whisk together the Au Jus gravy mix with water and heat it up on the stove. It only takes a few minutes to thicken, so don’t wander off.
Step 6: Serve & Dunk!
Once your French Dip Biscuits are fresh out of the oven, serve them hot and crispy, with a side of steaming Au Jus for dipping.
One bite, one dunk, and you’ll understand why these are officially my new favorite way to do French dip.
Storage Options:
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Pop them in a 350ºF oven for 5-7 minutes to bring back that crispiness.
- Freeze for Later: Assemble and freeze before baking, then bake straight from frozen—just add 2-3 extra minutes.
Variations and Substitutions:
Want to mix things up? Try these fun swaps:
- Spicy Version – Add a little crushed red pepper or swap provolone for pepper jack cheese.
- Extra Cheesy – Double up on the cheese because, honestly, why not?
- Different Meat – Try ham, turkey, or shredded rotisserie chicken instead of roast beef.
- Caramelized Onion Magic – If you’ve got time, caramelized onions will take these to another level.
- Make it Gluten-Free – Use gluten-free biscuit dough and a gluten-free Au Jus mix.
What to Serve with French Dip Biscuits?
These are perfect on their own, but if you want a full meal, try pairing them with:
- Crispy Fries – Because dipping fries in Au Jus is a life-changing experience.
- Roasted Veggies – Brussels sprouts or asparagus balance the richness.
- Side Salad – A light, tangy vinaigrette cuts through the cheesiness.
- Garlic Mashed Potatoes – Because, honestly… who needs an excuse for mashed potatoes?
