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
- 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 the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly layer thinly sliced roast beef and shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese down the center of each tortilla.
- Roll and arrange: Carefully roll the tortillas tightly around the filling and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to keep them closed during baking.
- Brush with butter and season: Brush the tops of the rolled tortillas with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley for extra flavor.
- Bake until golden: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the roll ups for 12–15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
- 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 over medium heat and let it cook for 5–7 minutes to develop a rich dipping sauce.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove the roll ups from the oven, slice them if desired, and serve warm alongside the savory au jus for dipping.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning mixture.
- Use provolone cheese for a sharper flavor or mozzarella for a milder, creamier taste.
- Leftover roast beef works great to make this recipe quick and easy.
- Ensure tortillas are tightly rolled to prevent filling from spilling during baking.
- You can keep the au jus warm by using a slow simmer on the stovetop or in a small slow cooker while serving.
