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 make cleanup easy.
- Assemble Roll Ups: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly layer the thinly sliced roast beef and shredded cheese down the center of each tortilla.
- Roll Tortillas: Tightly roll up each tortilla starting from the edge with the fillings, then place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to keep them closed while baking.
- Butter and Season: Brush the tops of the rolled tortillas with melted butter. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley evenly over them for added flavor and a nice golden finish.
- Bake Roll Ups: Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes until the tortillas turn golden brown and the cheese inside melts beautifully.
- Prepare Au Jus: While the roll ups are baking, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5–7 minutes to develop rich flavors.
- Serve: Remove the roll ups from the oven, slice them into pieces if desired, and serve while warm alongside the savory au jus for dipping.
Notes
- Use thinly sliced deli roast beef or leftover roast beef for convenience.
- For a sharper flavor, try using provolone cheese instead of mozzarella.
- Make sure to tightly roll the tortillas to prevent fillings from spilling out during baking.
- You can double the au jus recipe if you prefer extra dipping sauce.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven for best texture.
