Ingredients
For the Roll Ups
- 1 lb thinly sliced roast beef
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
For the Au Jus
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt & 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 flour tortillas flat on a clean surface and evenly distribute the thinly sliced roast beef followed by the shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese over each tortilla.
- Roll and Secure: Tightly roll each tortilla from the bottom up, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling inside the roll.
- Prepare Roll Ups for Baking: Brush the outside of each rolled tortilla with melted butter, then sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley evenly over the tops to add flavor and a golden hue.
- Bake: Place the prepared roll ups on the lined baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes until they are golden brown and the cheese inside has melted.
- Make Au Jus: While the roll ups bake, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook gently for 5–7 minutes to develop a flavorful dipping sauce.
- Slice and Serve: Once baked, remove the roll ups from the oven and slice each roll into bite-sized pieces. Serve warm with the prepared au jus for dipping.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, brush the roll ups with butter again halfway through baking.
- Use provolone cheese for a mild flavor or mozzarella for a gooier texture.
- The au jus can be made ahead and reheated when ready to serve.
- Adjust seasoning in the au jus according to taste, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
- These roll ups can also be made with low-carb or whole wheat tortillas for a healthier twist.
