Tips & Variations

Scale 1x2x3x

For the 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

For the Au Jus

• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

1. Prepare the Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley. Stir well to mix the flavors evenly.
2. Assemble the Roll Ups: Lay out each flour tortilla on a flat surface. Evenly distribute the roast beef slices over each tortilla, followed by a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese.
3. Roll the Tortillas: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a cylinder, ensuring the filling stays inside. Place them seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
4. Brush with Herb Butter: Brush the tops of the rolled tortillas generously with the prepared butter mixture for flavor and to help achieve a golden crust while baking.
5. Bake the Roll Ups: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the roll ups for about 15-20 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
6. Prepare the Au Jus: While the roll ups bake, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat until warmed through and slightly reduced, adjusting seasoning to taste.
7. Serve: Remove the roll ups from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm alongside the hot au jus for dipping. Enjoy this flavorful French Dip Tortilla Roll Up as an appetizer or satisfying meal.

Notes

• Use thinly sliced deli-style roast beef or leftover roast beef for best texture.
• Substitute mozzarella with provolone or another mild melting cheese if preferred.
• Ensure the tortillas are tightly rolled to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
• The au jus can be made a day ahead and reheated before serving.
• For a crispier texture, broil the roll ups for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
