The image shows three rolled wraps stacked slightly on each other on a white marbled surface. Each wrap is golden brown with darker grill marks and filled with layers inside: shredded beef that is dark brown, melted white cheese, and bits of green herbs. The wraps have a soft and slightly crispy look. A small white bowl with a creamy white sauce is blurred in the background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

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

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried parsley

2 cups beef broth

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon onion powder (for au jus)

1 teaspoon garlic powder (for au jus)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Lay the tortillas flat and evenly layer the sliced roast beef and shredded cheese down the center of each tortilla.

Step 3: Roll each tortilla tightly and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4: Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley.

Step 5: Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and the cheese is melted.

Step 6: While the roll ups bake, prepare the au jus: In a saucepan, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer gently for 5–7 minutes to develop flavor.

Step 7: Remove the roll ups from the oven, slice them if desired, and serve warm with the au jus for dipping.

Tips & Variations

Try swapping mozzarella for provolone or Swiss cheese for a different melt and flavor profile.

Add a thin layer of Dijon mustard or horseradish sauce inside the tortillas before rolling for an extra zing.

For a crispy finish, broil the roll ups for 1–2 minutes after baking, watching closely to avoid burning.

FAQs

Can I use other types of tortillas for this recipe?

Yes, you can use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas if you prefer. Just be aware that thicker or more delicate tortillas might affect the rolling and baking time slightly.

What can I substitute for roast beef if I don’t have any?

If you don’t have roast beef, thinly sliced cooked steak, leftover roast chicken, or even turkey can work as alternatives. Just keep in mind the flavor of the au jus pairs best with beef.
