Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 pound thinly sliced roast beef
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 cup sliced provolone cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
- Pour in the buttermilk and gently mix until just combined. If the dough feels too dry, add a splash more buttermilk.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead a few times until it comes together.
- Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Cut into squares or rectangles to yield about 12 biscuits.
- Place the cut biscuits onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
- While the biscuits bake, prepare the filling. In a medium saucepan, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Add the sliced roast beef, stirring gently to coat. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until heated through.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
- Prepare a small bowl for the dipping sauce with the remaining beef broth mixture.
- Slice each biscuit in half horizontally.
- On the bottom half, place a generous amount of the warm roast beef mixture, including some broth.
- Top with a slice of provolone cheese, allowing it to melt slightly.
- Place the top half of the biscuit back on. Optionally, return to the oven for a minute to melt the cheese further.
- Arrange the assembled biscuits on a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding sautéed onions or peppers to the roast beef mixture.
- These biscuits are best served warm and can be reheated in the oven if needed.
