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

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Assemble the roll ups: Lay each flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread an even layer of thinly sliced roast beef down the center of the tortilla, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese evenly over the beef.
  3. Roll tortillas tightly: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly around the beef and cheese filling, ensuring that the seam is well sealed to avoid unrolling during baking. Place each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet for stability.
  4. Season and butter: Brush the outside of each roll up generously with melted butter. Evenly sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley over the tops for flavor and a golden finish.
  5. Bake the roll ups: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese inside has melted thoroughly.
  6. Prepare the au jus: While the roll ups bake, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and let cook gently for 5 to 7 minutes to meld the flavors.
  7. Serve warm: Remove the roll ups from the oven, slice into bite-sized pieces if desired, and serve immediately with the warm au jus on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, broil the roll ups for the last 1-2 minutes of baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  • You can substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella or another mild, melty cheese if preferred.
  • Leftover roast beef works perfectly, making this recipe a great way to use up deli cuts or leftovers.
  • Adjust seasoning of the au jus according to your taste; adding a splash of red wine or a pinch of herbs can enhance the flavor profile.
  • Serve these roll ups as an appetizer at parties or pair with a side salad for a complete meal.
