Ingredients
To get started, gather these simple ingredients that blend perfectly to create a dish that’s both satisfying and sophisticated. Just like my abuela’s recipes, these ingredients are straightforward yet full of potential.
- 1 pound thinly sliced roast beef
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup beef broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
If you’re feeling adventurous, swap the provolone for Swiss cheese or add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a kick. These squares are all about making the recipe your own, much like my own culinary adventures.
Instructions
Let’s dive into the process, step-by-step, so you can create these mouthwatering squares with ease. Cooking should be as joyful as sharing a meal with loved ones, and I’m here to guide you through each step.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared dish, sealing the seams to create a single layer.
- Layer the roast beef over the dough, followed by the slices of provolone cheese.
- In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, onion powder, and garlic powder. Spread this mixture evenly over the cheese layer.
- Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and place it over the top, again sealing the seams.
- In another small bowl, combine the melted butter with the dried rosemary. Brush this mixture over the top layer of dough.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- While the squares are baking, heat the beef broth in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm but not boiling. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing into squares. Serve with a small cup of the warm beef broth for dipping.
Remember, as my abuela always said, “Cocinar con el corazón” — cook with your heart. Let your senses guide you, and enjoy the process!
