Ingredients

Scale

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 make cleanup easier.
  2. Assemble Roll Ups: Lay each tortilla flat and evenly layer the thinly sliced roast beef along the center, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese.
  3. Roll Tortillas: Roll each tortilla tightly around the fillings and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to keep them sealed during baking.
  4. Season and Butter: Brush the tops of the rolled tortillas with melted butter and sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley evenly over them for added flavor and a golden finish.
  5. Bake Roll Ups: Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the tortillas turn golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
  6. Prepare 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. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5–7 minutes to develop rich flavors.
  7. Serve: Remove the tortilla roll ups from the oven, slice them if desired, and serve warm alongside the au jus dipping sauce for an authentic French dip experience.

Notes

  • Use thinly sliced roast beef for easier rolling and better texture.
  • You can substitute mozzarella with provolone or your preferred melting cheese.
  • For a low-sodium option, use low-sodium beef broth and reduce added salt.
  • Leftover roast beef works perfectly and helps reduce food waste.
  • The au jus sauce can be kept warm in a small slow cooker if serving at a party or gathering.
  • For extra crispiness, broil the roll ups for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
