Ingredients
Scale
Fillings
- 1 lb thinly sliced roast beef (deli style or leftover)
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
Seasoning & Topping
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Au Jus Sauce
- 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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the roll ups.
- Assemble Roll Ups: Lay the 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.
- Roll the Tortillas: Tightly roll each tortilla around the filling and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to keep them closed during baking.
- Season and Butter: Brush the tops of the rolled tortillas with melted butter. Sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley for extra flavor and a golden finish.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tortillas turn golden brown and the cheese inside is thoroughly melted.
- Prepare the Au Jus: While the roll ups bake, combine the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a saucepan. Simmer gently over medium heat for 5–7 minutes to develop a rich dipping sauce.
- Serve: Remove the roll ups from the oven and slice them if desired. Serve warm with the hot au jus on the side for dipping, enhancing the meaty, cheesy flavors.
Notes
- Use leftover roast beef or deli-sliced roast beef for convenience.
- Substitute mozzarella with provolone or a cheese blend for different flavor profiles.
- For a crispier texture, broil the roll ups for the last 1-2 minutes of baking—watch closely to avoid burning.
- Leftover au jus can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently before serving.
- These roll ups can be pre-assembled and refrigerated until baking time for easy meal prep.
- Try adding caramelized onions or sautéed mushrooms inside the roll ups for added depth.
