Tips & Variations

• Use provolone for a slightly sharper flavor or mozzarella for a milder cheese option.
• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the butter before brushing.
• Substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or spinach tortillas for added nutrition.
• If you prefer a thicker au jus, simmer it a bit longer to reduce and intensify the flavor.

Storage

Store leftover roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through to keep them crisp. Au jus can be kept separately in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stove.

FAQs

Can I make these roll ups ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the roll ups a few hours in advance and refrigerate them before baking. Just brush with butter and seasonings right before baking for best results.

What can I use if I don’t have beef broth?

You can substitute beef broth with low-sodium vegetable broth or chicken broth, though the flavor will be slightly different. Adding extra Worcestershire sauce can help boost the savory taste.

Roll Ups

• 1 lb thinly sliced roast beef
• 1½ cups shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for roll ups)
• 1 teaspoon onion powder (for roll ups)

Au Jus

• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for au jus)
• 1 teaspoon onion powder (for au jus)
• 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 the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the thinly sliced roast beef and shredded cheese down the center of each tortilla.
3. Roll Tortillas: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly around the filling and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to keep them secure during baking.
4. Add Seasoning and Butter: Brush the tops of the rolled tortillas with melted butter. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley evenly over the top for flavor.
5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese inside has fully melted.
6. Prepare Au Jus: While the roll ups bake, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a saucepan. Simmer on medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes to develop the flavors.
7. Serve: Remove roll ups from the oven and let cool slightly. Slice into bite-sized pieces and serve warm with the prepared au jus for dipping.

Notes

• Use thinly sliced roast beef for easy rolling and even flavor distribution.
• Moisture from the au jus enhances the flavor and keeps the roll ups juicy.
• For a crispier exterior, you can broil the roll ups for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
• Feel free to substitute mozzarella with provolone cheese depending on your preference.
• Leftover roll ups can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
