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)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: Lay the tortillas flat and evenly layer the sliced roast beef and shredded cheese down the center of each tortilla.
3. Step 3: Roll each tortilla tightly and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Step 4: Brush the roll ups with melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley.
5. Step 5: Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
6. 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 over medium heat for 5–7 minutes.
7. Step 7: Remove the roll ups from the oven, slice them if desired, and serve warm with the au jus for dipping.

Tips & Variations

• Use leftover roast beef or deli slices for convenience and flavor.
• Swap mozzarella for provolone or Swiss cheese to vary the taste.
• For extra crispiness, place the roll ups under the broiler for 1–2 minutes at the end of baking.
• Add a touch of horseradish sauce inside the tortillas for a spicy kick.
• Use gluten-free tortillas if preferred to make this recipe gluten-free.

Storage

Store leftover roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes to keep the tortillas crispy. Keep the au jus separately in a sealed container and rewarm gently on the stove before serving.

FAQs

Can I make these roll ups ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the roll ups and refrigerate them for a few hours before baking. Just brush with butter and add seasoning right before baking to keep them fresh.

What can I use if I don’t have Worcestershire sauce?

You can substitute Worcestershire sauce with a mix of soy sauce and a little balsamic vinegar or add a splash of steak sauce for a similar umami flavor in the au jus.

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 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

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
2. Prepare Tortillas: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly layer the thinly sliced roast beef down the center of each tortilla, followed by a generous sprinkling of shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese.
3. Roll Tortillas: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly around the filling, then place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to keep the roll ups intact while baking.
4. Season Roll Ups: Brush the tops of the rolled tortillas with melted butter. Sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley to add flavor and a light golden crust when baked.
5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tortillas turn golden brown and the cheese inside has melted beautifully.
6. Make Au Jus: While the roll ups are baking, prepare the au jus dipping sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 5 to 7 minutes to develop the flavors.
7. Serve: Once baked, remove the roll ups from the oven and let them cool slightly. Slice into bite-sized pieces if desired and serve warm alongside the prepared au jus for dipping.

Notes

• Use either mozzarella or provolone cheese based on preference; provolone offers a more traditional flavor.
• For a crispier roll up, you can broil them for the last 1-2 minutes but watch closely to prevent burning.
• Leftover roast beef works perfectly if you want to reduce prep time.
• Adjust salt and pepper in the au jus to suit your taste preferences.
• These roll ups make great party appetizers or a quick dinner option.
