directions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Brush the tops with melted butter.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
While the biscuits bake, make the au jus: In a small saucepan, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer over medium heat for 5–7 minutes.
