Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk, cold (or whole milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar as a substitute)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 8 ounces thinly sliced roast beef
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
  3. Add 6 tablespoons cold, cubed unsalted butter. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter visible.
  4. Pour in 3/4 cup cold buttermilk and stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the dough and gently fold it in to distribute evenly.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to cut into 8 equal squares. Transfer the squares onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  7. Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbling.
  8. While biscuits bake, in a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups beef broth, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Once biscuits are out of the oven, carefully slice each in half horizontally. Layer thin slices of roast beef inside each biscuit.
  10. Serve immediately with warm au jus in small bowls for dipping.

Notes

Use cold butter to ensure flaky layers. Avoid overmixing the dough to keep biscuits light. Prepare au jus while biscuits bake to save time. Add beef after baking to prevent sogginess. For gluten-free, use gluten-free flour blend and confirm broth is gluten-free. For dairy-free, substitute butter and milk accordingly.
