Layer the Roast Beef: Evenly distribute the deli-sliced roast beef over the crescent roll dough. The savory beef will provide the classic French Dip flavor.
Sprinkle the Cheese: Next, sprinkle one cup of grated Swiss cheese over the layer of roast beef. The cheese will melt beautifully and add a rich, creamy texture to the dish.
Step 4: Prepare and Add the Glaze
Mix the Glaze Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the dry onion soup mix, 1/4 cup of melted butter, 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. Mix these ingredients until they are well combined. The glaze will add a burst of flavor to the dish, enhancing the overall taste experience.
Drizzle the Glaze: Drizzle the prepared glaze evenly over the cheese layer. This will not only add flavor but also help the cheese melt and integrate with the beef.
Step 5: Top with the Final Dough Layer
Roll Out the Second Crescent Dough: Open the second can of crescent rolls and unroll the dough. Carefully place it over the top of the layered ingredients in the baking dish. Pinch together any seams to create a cohesive top layer. This will enclose the filling and create a flaky, golden crust once baked.
Step 6: Bake and Prepare Dipping Sauce
Bake the French Dip Squares: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the squares are cooked through. The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the dish to ensure it doesn’t overcook.
Prepare the Beef Broth Dipping Sauce: While the French Dip Squares are baking, pour one cup of beef broth into a small pot and heat it over medium heat until warmed through. This savory dipping sauce will be the perfect accompaniment to your squares.
