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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- Assemble Roll Ups: Lay the flour tortillas flat and evenly layer thinly sliced roast beef and shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese down the center of each tortilla.
- Roll Tortillas: Tightly roll each tortilla starting from the edge with the fillings and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to prevent unrolling during baking.
- Butter and Season: Brush the rolled tortillas with melted butter to promote browning, then sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley for added flavor and aroma.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tortillas turn golden brown and the cheese inside melts completely.
- Prepare Au Jus: While the roll ups bake, prepare the dipping sauce by combining beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer the mixture for 5 to 7 minutes to develop a rich and savory flavor.
- Serve: Once baked, remove the roll ups from the oven and slice them into bite-sized pieces if desired. Serve warm alongside the freshly made au jus for dipping.
Notes
- You can use leftover roast beef or deli-style thinly sliced roast beef depending on convenience.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes to the butter brush before baking.
- Make sure to tightly roll the tortillas and place them seam-side down to prevent unrolling during baking.
- The au jus can be made ahead and kept warm; just reheat before serving.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas.
