Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 lb thinly sliced roast beef
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Liquid and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup (180 milliliters) milk
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425F (220C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for crisp, even baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients, creating a fluffy base for the biscuits by blending flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Integrate cold butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter or fingertips until the texture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Pour milk into the mixture, stirring gently until the dough just comes together without overmixing.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface, knead briefly to ensure cohesion, and roll out to desired thickness.
- Cut biscuits using a round cutter, placing them carefully on the prepared baking sheet with slight spacing between each.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges turn golden brown and tops appear lightly crisp.
- While biscuits bake, heat sliced beef with broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a skillet until thoroughly warmed.
- Simultaneously prepare au jus by simmering beef broth, soy sauce, and garlic powder for 3-5 minutes to develop rich flavor.
- Once biscuits have cooled slightly, split them open and generously fill with warm beef.
- Serve immediately with a small dish of au jus for dipping, ensuring each bite is moist and flavorful.
Notes
- Choose cold butter straight from the refrigerator to ensure flaky, tender biscuits with perfect layers.
- Use a sharp biscuit cutter or glass rim to create clean-cut edges that help biscuits rise evenly.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a reliable gluten-free blend and add xanthan gum for better texture.
- Slice beef against the grain to guarantee maximum tenderness and easier chewing when assembling the biscuit sandwiches.
