• For a spicier kick, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes on top before baking.
• Make the au jus ahead and keep warm for easier serving at parties.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of meat for these roll ups?

Yes, thinly sliced turkey or ham can be used as a substitute for roast beef, though the flavor will be slightly different from the traditional French dip.

How do I make the au jus if I don’t have Worcestershire sauce?

If you don’t have Worcestershire sauce, you can substitute with soy sauce mixed with a little balsamic vinegar or a dash of beef bouillon to maintain the savory depth.

Scale 1x2x3x

Main Ingredients

• 1 lb thinly sliced roast beef
• 1½ cups shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 tablespoons butter (melted)

Au Jus Ingredients

• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Seasoning for Roll Ups

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the roll ups.
2. Assemble Roll Ups: Lay each flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place a generous amount of thinly sliced roast beef and shredded cheese down the center of each tortilla.
3. Roll and Arrange: Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling, ensuring the seam is on the bottom to keep them sealed. Arrange them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Brush and Season: Brush the tops of the rolled tortillas with melted butter, then evenly sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley over them to add flavor and promote a golden crust.
5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the roll ups for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the cheese inside has melted thoroughly.
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 the mixture over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes to develop a rich dipping sauce.
7. Slice and Serve: Once baked, remove the tortilla roll ups from the oven and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Serve warm with the hot au jus for dipping.

Notes

• Use thinly sliced roast beef for easy rolling and even cooking inside the tortillas.
• Substitute mozzarella with provolone for a different cheese flavor profile.
• If you prefer a spicier kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the seasoning.
• Ensure the tortillas are rolled tightly to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
• The au jus can be made ahead and reheated when ready to serve.
• For a gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas.
