Ingredients

  • 1 lb thinly sliced roast beef (deli style or leftover)
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder (for au jus)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for au jus)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Step 2: Lay the tortillas flat and evenly layer the sliced roast beef and shredded cheese down the center of each tortilla.
  3. Step 3: Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to prevent unrolling while baking.
  4. Step 4: Brush the tops of the roll ups with melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley for extra flavor.
  5. Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the tortillas turn golden and the cheese inside melts completely.
  6. Step 6: While the roll ups bake, prepare the au jus by combining beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a saucepan. Simmer over low heat for 5–7 minutes to develop the flavors.
  7. Step 7: Remove the roll ups from the oven, slice if desired, and serve warm alongside the au jus for dipping.

Tips & Variations

  • For a spicy kick, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the cheese before rolling the tortillas.
  • Use provolone for a milder flavor or mozzarella for a gooey, stretchy texture.
  • Try adding sautéed onions or peppers inside the roll ups for extra depth and color.
  • If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute the flour tortillas with your favorite gluten-free wraps.
  • Leftover au jus can be refrigerated and gently reheated; it also works great as a flavorful gravy for mashed potatoes.

Storage

Store any leftover roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes to keep the tortilla crispy and the cheese melted. Keep the au jus separately and reheat gently on the stove before serving again.

FAQs

Can I make these roll ups ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the roll ups and keep them covered in the refrigerator for a few hours before baking. Bake just before serving for the best texture and flavor.

What can I use if I don’t have Worcestershire sauce?

If you don’t have Worcestershire sauce, you can substitute it with soy sauce mixed with a little balsamic vinegar or a splash of steak sauce to maintain the umami flavor in the au jus.

Ingredients

Scale

Roll Ups

  • 1 lb thinly sliced roast beef (deli style or leftover)
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Au Jus

  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Assemble the roll ups: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly layer the thinly sliced roast beef and shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese down the center of each tortilla.
  3. Roll tortillas tightly: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly around the filling, then place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to keep them from unrolling during baking.
  4. Season and butter: Brush the rolled tortillas generously with melted butter. Then sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley evenly over the tops to add a wonderful flavor and aroma.
  5. Bake the roll ups: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tortillas become golden brown and the cheese inside has melted completely.
  6. Prepare the au jus: While the roll ups bake, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, letting it cook gently for 5 to 7 minutes so the flavors meld beautifully.
  7. Serve: Remove the roll ups from the oven and slice them into smaller sections if desired. Serve warm with the freshly made au jus on the side for dipping, enhancing the savory beef and cheese flavors.

Notes

  • Use leftover roast beef or thinly sliced deli-style roast beef for convenience.
  • Feel free to substitute mozzarella or provolone cheese with other melting cheeses like Swiss or cheddar to vary the flavor.
  • For a crispier tortilla, broil the roll ups for the last 1-2 minutes of baking but watch carefully to avoid burning.
  • The au jus can be made ahead and reheated when ready to serve.
  • Adjust seasoning in the au jus according to taste preferences.
  • These roll ups are best served fresh but can be refrigerated and reheated gently.
