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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  2. Assemble Roll Ups: Lay out the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly layer the thinly sliced roast beef and shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese down the center of each tortilla.
  3. Roll Tortillas: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly around the filling and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to keep them closed while baking.
  4. Season and Butter: Brush the tops of the rolled tortillas with melted butter. Then sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley evenly over the rolls for added flavor.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tortillas turn golden brown and the cheese inside has melted thoroughly.
  6. Prepare Au Jus: While the roll ups bake, heat a saucepan over medium heat. Combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Allow to simmer gently for 5 to 7 minutes to develop the rich dipping sauce.
  7. Serve: Remove the tortilla roll ups from the oven and slice them if desired. Serve warm alongside the savory au jus for dipping, enhancing every bite with moist, flavorful goodness.

Notes

  • You can substitute mozzarella or provolone cheese depending on your preference for a milder or sharper flavor.
  • Leftover roast beef works wonderfully in this recipe, making it great for using up cooked meat from previous meals.
  • For extra crispiness, place the baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven and monitor the roll ups closely towards the end of baking.
  • The au jus can be made ahead and reheated gently before serving.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of crushed red pepper to the butter seasoning for a mild kick.
