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 Oven: 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 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.
- Roll Tortillas: Tightly roll each tortilla from the filled edge, ensuring the seam is underneath, and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to keep them intact while baking.
- Prepare Toppings: Brush the tops of the rolled tortillas with melted butter to promote browning and sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley for added flavor.
- Bake Roll Ups: Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, until the tortillas turn golden brown and the cheese inside has melted completely.
- Make Au Jus: While the roll ups bake, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer gently for 5–7 minutes to develop a rich, savory dipping sauce.
- Serve: Remove the roll ups from the oven, slice into manageable pieces if desired, and serve warm alongside the au jus for dipping.
Notes
- Use leftover roast beef or deli-style slices for convenience and flavor.
- Either mozzarella or provolone cheese can be used depending on your preference.
- For a crispier exterior, brush the roll ups generously with butter before baking.
- The au jus can be kept warm in a small pot or slow cooker during serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven for best results.
- Try adding sautéed onions or horseradish sauce inside the roll ups for extra flavor variations.
