Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough (seamless sheet variety if possible)
- Thinly sliced deli roast beef
- Sliced provolone cheese
- Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 packet dry onion soup mix
- Beef broth (or beef stock)
- Worcestershire sauce
- Garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish.
- Roll out one can of crescent dough and press it into the bottom of the baking dish.
- Layer the roast beef evenly over the dough, followed by a layer of provolone cheese.
- Roll out the second can of crescent dough and place it over the filling, pressing down gently to seal the edges.
- In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder, and dry onion soup mix. Brush the mixture generously over the top of the dough.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and flaky.
- While the squares are baking, prepare the au jus dipping sauce by heating beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of garlic powder in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Allow the French Dip Squares to cool for 5 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm with the au jus dipping sauce on the side.
