Ingredients

For the Beef Filling:

• 1 lb roast beef, thinly sliced or chopped
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp black pepper
• Salt to taste
• 1 Tbsp olive oil

For the Biscuits:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 6 Tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• ¾ cup buttermilk

For the Au Jus:

• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Beef

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the onions and sauté until translucent.
3. Stir in the roast beef, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3–5 minutes until beef is warmed and lightly browned. Set aside.

2. Make the Biscuits

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in buttermilk until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough into a greased baking dish, forming a layer thick enough to hold the beef.

3. Assemble the Biscuits

1. Spoon the beef mixture over the biscuits evenly.
2. Cover with remaining biscuit dough if desired for a “double-decker” effect.
3. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

4. Make the Au Jus

1. In a small saucepan, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Heat over medium until simmering. Adjust seasoning to taste.

5. Serve

1. Spoon the warm au jus into small bowls for dipping.
2. Serve the biscuits hot, either open-faced or as sandwiches, with a side of au jus for dipping.
