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 Sauce
- 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
- Preheat and prepare baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Assemble roll ups: Lay each flour tortilla flat on a work surface. Evenly layer thinly sliced roast beef and shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese down the center of each tortilla.
- Roll tortillas: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly around the filling, then place them seam-side down on the lined baking sheet to maintain their shape while baking.
- Season and butter: Brush the rolled tortillas with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley for added flavor.
- Bake roll ups: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tortillas turn golden and crispy, and the cheese inside has melted thoroughly.
- Prepare 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 to a simmer and cook gently for 5–7 minutes to develop rich, savory flavors.
- Serve: Remove the roll ups from the oven, slice each into bite-sized pieces, and serve warm alongside the au jus for dipping to enjoy the classic French dip experience with a tortilla twist.
Notes
- You can substitute mozzarella or provolone with any mild melting cheese of your choice.
- Use leftover roast beef or deli slices for convenience.
- Adjust seasoning in the au jus to your taste for saltiness and savory depth.
- For a crispier texture, broil the roll ups for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end of baking.
- These roll ups can be made ahead and reheated; just warm the au jus before serving.
