Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Au Jus

  • 1 beef roast (chuck roast or sirloin, about 2–3 pounds)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional herbs: fresh thyme, rosemary, or parsley (for flavoring au jus)

Biscuits and Assembly

  • 1 package ready-made biscuits (or gluten-free biscuits if needed)
  • Swiss cheese slices (enough for each biscuit, about 8 slices)
  • Butter, for softening biscuits (optional)
  • Fresh parsley or thyme for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Cook the Beef: Season the beef roast generously with salt and pepper. Heat butter and olive oil in a hot skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned and caramelized to lock in the juices.
  2. Make the Au Jus: In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and minced garlic. Sauté until soft and fragrant. Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release browned bits. Let the broth simmer gently to reduce slightly and concentrate the flavors. Add herbs if using.
  3. Shred the Beef: Finish cooking the beef roast through in the oven or slow cooker until tender. Remove and shred the beef with two forks. Toss the shredded meat in the warm au jus to soak up extra flavor and keep moist.
  4. Assemble the Biscuits: Slice the biscuits in half horizontally. Optionally spread a little butter on the insides to soften. Pile a generous amount of saucy shredded beef onto each bottom biscuit half. Top each with a slice of Swiss cheese.
  5. Melt the Cheese: Place the assembled biscuits on a baking sheet. Warm in a preheated oven or under a broiler for a few minutes until the cheese melts and biscuits turn golden brown on top.
  6. Serve with Au Jus: Pour any remaining au jus into small bowls for dipping. Serve the French Dip Biscuits warm, garnished with fresh parsley or thyme if desired.

Notes

  • Use quality beef roast for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don’t skip the searing step; it adds rich flavor to the beef and au jus.
  • Warm the au jus when serving to enhance the dipping experience.
  • Choose buttery, flaky biscuits for the best texture.
  • Preheat your oven or broiler to ensure cheese melts evenly and biscuits crisp nicely.
  • Keep beef and biscuits separate when storing leftovers for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze shredded beef with au jus in freezer-safe bags up to 2 months; thaw and reheat gently.
  • Reheat biscuits in the oven or toaster oven to maintain flakiness before assembling.
  • Customize with different cheeses, proteins, herbs, or spice for variety.
