Introduction

French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups offer a fun and flavorful twist on the classic French dip sandwich. Packed with tender roast beef and gooey melted cheese, these roll ups are perfect for a quick lunch or casual dinner. Dip them in savory au jus for an irresistible bite every time.

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

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, use a mix of mozzarella and provolone cheese or add a slice of Swiss cheese inside each roll up.
• Try adding sautéed onions or peppers inside the tortilla for added texture and taste.
• Use corn tortillas for a gluten-free option, but watch baking time closely as they may brown faster.

Storage

Store leftovers 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 maintain crispiness. The au jus can be kept separately in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheated gently on the stove.

FAQs

Can I make these roll ups in advance?

Yes, you can assemble the roll ups ahead of time and refrigerate them before baking. Let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before baking to ensure even cooking.

What can I use if I don’t have Worcestershire sauce?

If you don’t have Worcestershire sauce, a splash of soy sauce mixed with a little lemon juice or vinegar can help replicate its tangy, savory flavor in the au jus.

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 ease cleanup.
2. Assemble Roll Ups: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Layer the thinly sliced roast beef evenly down the center of each tortilla, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese over the beef.
3. Roll Tortillas: Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling and place each roll up seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to keep them sealed during baking.
4. Season and Brush: Brush the tops of the rolled tortillas with melted butter. Sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley to add flavor and help create a golden crust.
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 fully melted.
6. Prepare Au Jus Sauce: While the roll ups bake, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 5–7 minutes to develop a rich, flavorful dipping sauce.
7. Serve: Remove the roll ups from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Slice into bite-sized pieces if desired, and serve warm alongside the au jus sauce for dipping.

Notes

• You can substitute provolone with mozzarella or any mild melting cheese you prefer.
• Use leftover roast beef or deli-style thinly sliced beef for convenience.
• For extra crispiness, you can broil the roll ups for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
• The au jus sauce can be made ahead and reheated before serving.
• These roll ups are great for parties, game day snacks, or a quick dinner option.
