Ingredients

Scale

Roll Ups

  • 4 large flour tortillas, about 12 inches in diameter
  • 8 slices provolone cheese, thinly sliced
  • 12 ounces deli roast beef, freshly sliced
  • 1 cup French fried onions, store-bought or homemade
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Au Jus

  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) beef consommé
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Assemble Roll Ups: Lay one tortilla flat. On half of the tortilla, layer 2 slices of provolone cheese, about 3 ounces of freshly sliced roast beef, and a generous handful of French fried onions. Lightly brush the inside edge of the tortilla with olive oil.
  3. Roll and Arrange: Starting from the filled end, tightly roll up the tortilla to encase the fillings. Press the oiled edge to seal the roll. Place the completed roll up seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas.
  4. Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the tops and sides of each roll up with the remaining olive oil. This helps achieve a crisp, golden crust during baking.
  5. Bake Roll Ups: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through to ensure even browning. The tortillas should be golden brown and the cheese just beginning to bubble at the edges.
  6. Prepare Au Jus: While the roll ups bake, combine beef consommé, water, Worcestershire sauce, low sodium soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, whisking occasionally. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce is hot and aromatic.
  7. Rest and Slice: Remove roll ups from the oven and let them rest on a wire rack for about 2 minutes. This resting period allows the cheese to slightly set for easier slicing. Slice each roll into halves or thirds, depending on your preferred serving size.
  8. Serve: Arrange the sliced roll ups on a serving platter and serve immediately alongside the warm au jus for dipping. Enjoy this delicious and comforting dish while the dip is hot.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider sprinkling a little garlic powder or Italian seasoning inside the tortillas before assembling.
  • Use freshly sliced roast beef for the best texture and taste.
  • If you prefer a crispier roll up, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking watch closely to prevent burning.
  • French fried onions can be substituted with crispy fried shallots or homemade crispy onions for a different crunch.
  • The au jus can be made ahead and gently reheated before serving.
