# What You Need:
→ Roll Ups Filling
01 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
02 - 8 oz thinly sliced roast beef
03 - 4 slices provolone cheese
04 - 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
05 - 1 tbsp unsalted butter
06 - 1 tbsp olive oil
07 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
08 - 1/2 tsp dried thyme (optional)
09 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
→ Au Jus Dipping Sauce
10 - 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
11 - 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
12 - 1 tsp soy sauce
13 - 1/2 tsp onion powder
14 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
02 - Melt butter with olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme.
03 - Lay tortillas flat on a clean surface. Layer sliced roast beef, caramelized onions, and one slice of provolone cheese evenly across each tortilla, leaving a small border at the edges.
04 - Tightly roll up each tortilla starting from one end. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Optionally brush tops lightly with olive oil for extra crispiness.
05 - Bake for 10-12 minutes until tortillas are golden and crisp, and cheese is thoroughly melted.
06 - While roll ups bake, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes to blend flavors. Adjust seasoning if needed.
07 - Remove roll ups from oven and let cool briefly. Slice in half diagonally if desired. Serve warm with individual bowls of hot au jus for dipping.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- They take less than 40 minutes from start to finish but taste like you spent all afternoon cooking
- The au jus transforms a simple weeknight dinner into something that feels fancy and restaurant worthy
02 -
- Roll the tortillas tightly and place them seam side down or they will unroll in the oven and you will have a cheesy mess
- Let the onions get properly caramelized, not just soft, because that sweetness is what balances the salty beef and rich cheese
03 -
- Brush the tops of the roll ups with melted butter mixed with a little garlic powder before baking for extra flavor and golden color
- Make extra au jus and keep it warm in a small slow cooker for serving, people always want more for dipping
