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 flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly layer the sliced roast beef and shredded cheese down the center of each tortilla.
  3. Step 3: Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: Brush the tops of the roll ups with melted butter. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley evenly over them for added flavor.
  5. Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese inside has melted.
  6. Step 6: While the roll ups bake, prepare the au jus. In a saucepan, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  7. Step 7: Remove the roll ups from the oven, slice if desired, and serve warm with the au jus for dipping.

Tips & Variations

  • Use provolone for a more traditional flavor or mozzarella for a milder, stretchier melt.
  • Add sliced caramelized onions or sautéed mushrooms inside the roll ups for extra savory depth.
  • Try using whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a healthier twist.
  • If you prefer a thicker au jus, whisk in a teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with cold water and simmer until slightly thickened.

Storage

Store any leftover roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes to maintain crispiness, or microwave for 30–40 seconds if you’re short on time. Keep leftover au jus refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 4 days and reheat gently on the stove before serving.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the roll ups a few hours ahead and keep them covered in the refrigerator before baking. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if they’re chilled.

What can I use if I don’t have beef broth?

Beef broth adds great flavor to the au jus, but you can substitute with vegetable broth plus a splash of soy sauce for depth, or use a good quality beef base mixed with water.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Assemble 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.
