Ingredients

• 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
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: Lay out each tortilla and place roast beef and shredded cheese down the center. Roll each tortilla tightly.
3. Step 3: Place the roll ups seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush them with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley.
4. Step 4: Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
5. Step 5: While the roll ups bake, prepare the au jus. In a small saucepan, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5–7 minutes to develop the flavors.
6. Step 6: Once baked, slice the roll ups into bite-sized pieces and serve warm with the au jus for dipping.

Tips & Variations

• Use provolone cheese for a mild flavor or mozzarella for a stretchier, gooey texture.
• Add a few slices of caramelized onions inside the roll ups for extra sweetness.
• For a spicier kick, sprinkle a bit of crushed red pepper flakes before rolling.
• If you prefer, you can use corn tortillas for a different texture, but they may be less crisp.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for about 8–10 minutes to retain crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess. The au jus can be stored separately in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheated gently on the stove.

FAQs

Can I make these roll ups ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the roll ups and refrigerate them unbaked for a few hours before baking. Just brush with butter and seasonings right before placing them in the oven.

What can I substitute for beef broth in the au jus?

If you don’t have beef broth, you can use chicken broth or vegetable broth, but the flavor will be milder. Adding a splash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce helps boost the savory taste.

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
• Salt and pepper to taste

Au Jus

• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and aid easy cleanup.
2. Assemble the Roll Ups: Lay each flour tortilla flat and layer a generous amount of thinly sliced roast beef down the center, followed by a sprinkling of shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese. Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling to secure the ingredients inside.
3. Season and Bake: Place the roll ups seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each roll with melted butter generously, then sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the roll ups are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
4. Prepare the Au Jus: While the roll ups bake, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a saucepan. Simmer the mixture over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes to enhance the flavors and reduce slightly.
5. Slice and Serve: Once baked, remove the roll ups from the oven and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Serve warm alongside the au jus for dipping, offering a delicious and savory complement to the crispy roll ups.

Notes

• Use thinly sliced deli roast beef for best texture and ease of rolling.
• You can substitute mozzarella with provolone for a slightly different flavor profile.
• Make sure to roll the tortillas tightly to prevent filling from spilling out during baking.
• Adjust seasoning in the au jus according to taste; adding a splash of red wine can enhance depth.
• These roll ups can be prepared ahead and baked just before serving for convenience.
