7. Step 7: Remove the roll ups from the oven, slice them if desired, and serve warm alongside the au jus for dipping.

Tips & Variations

• Use provolone for a slightly sharper flavor or mozzarella for a milder, creamier melt.
• Try adding caramelized onions or sautéed mushrooms inside for extra savory depth.
• For a spicier kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes over the filling before rolling.
• If you prefer, substitute whole wheat tortillas for a nuttier taste and added fiber.

Storage

Store any leftover roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or toaster oven at 350°F for about 8 minutes to maintain crispness. Keep leftover au jus in the fridge for up to 4 days and warm it gently on the stove before serving.

FAQs

Can I make these roll ups ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the roll ups and keep them wrapped in plastic wrap in the fridge for a few hours before baking. Bake just before serving for best texture.

What can I use instead of beef broth for au jus?

If you don’t have beef broth, a mixture of vegetable broth with a splash of soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce can work well as a substitute to create a similar savory flavor.

Instructions
