Introduction

French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups are a delicious twist on the classic sandwich, combining tender roast beef and melted cheese wrapped in a warm tortilla. Served with a savory au jus for dipping, they make a perfect appetizer or snack for any occasion.

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)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for au jus)
• Salt and pepper to taste

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 and sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley evenly over them.
5. Step 5: Bake for 12–15 minutes until the tortillas are golden and the cheese has melted.
6. Step 6: While the roll ups bake, make the au jus by combining beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a saucepan. Simmer for 5–7 minutes.
7. Step 7: Remove the roll ups from the oven, slice them, and serve warm with the au jus for dipping.

Tips & Variations

• Use provolone for a milder cheese flavor or mozzarella for a gooey texture.
• Add caramelized onions or sautéed mushrooms inside the roll ups for extra richness.
• For a spicier kick, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes before baking.
• Serve with horseradish sauce alongside the au jus for an extra layer of flavor.

Storage

Store any leftover roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes or until warmed through to maintain crispness. The au jus can be stored separately in the fridge and reheated gently on the stove.

FAQs

Can I use other types of bread instead of tortillas?

Yes, you can substitute flour tortillas with sandwich wraps or even thin flatbreads, but tortillas work best for rolling and baking evenly.

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

You can omit Worcestershire sauce and add a splash of soy sauce and a pinch of beef bouillon or instant beef base to enhance the flavor of the broth.

• 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

• 2 cups beef broth

• 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 for easy cleanup.
2. Assemble Tortillas: Lay each large flour tortilla flat and evenly layer the thinly sliced roast beef and shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese along the center of each tortilla.
3. Roll Up Tortillas: Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to keep them securely rolled during baking.
4. Season and Butter: Brush the tops of the rolled tortillas with the melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley for added flavor and a golden crust.
5. Bake Roll Ups: 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 is melted and bubbly.
6. Prepare Au Jus: While the roll ups bake, combine 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 to 7 minutes to develop a flavorful dipping sauce.
7. Serve: Remove the roll ups from the oven, carefully slice them into smaller pieces if desired, and serve warm alongside the au jus for dipping.

Notes
