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 your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: Lay the tortillas flat and layer sliced roast beef and shredded cheese down the center of each tortilla.
  3. Step 3: Roll the tortillas 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 12–15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  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 5–7 minutes to develop flavor.
  7. Step 7: Remove the roll ups from the oven, slice if desired, and serve warm with the au jus on the side for dipping.

Tips & Variations

  • Use low-carb tortillas or lettuce wraps for a lighter, gluten-free option.
  • Add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce inside the roll ups for a spicy kick.
  • Using parchment paper on the baking sheet helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  • Provolone cheese provides a classic flavor, while mozzarella creates an extra gooey texture.

Storage

Store leftover roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through to keep the tortillas crispy. The au jus can be stored separately in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheated gently on the stove.

How to Serve

Three rolled crepes filled with a cheesy, creamy filling mixed with mushrooms and herbs sit close together on a white plate. The crepes are golden-brown and slightly crispy on the outside, with melted cheese and bits of green herbs visible where they are cut open. Tiny specks of black pepper and finely chopped green herbs sprinkle the tops. There is a small white bowl with white sauce blurred in the background on a white marbled surface. Near the plate, a woman’s hand holds one crepe, showing the soft, creamy inside clearly. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use other types of meat for this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute roast beef with sliced turkey or ham, but the classic flavor works best with roast beef for an authentic French dip taste.

What can I use if I don’t have beef broth for the au jus?

If you don’t have beef broth on hand, you can use vegetable broth or a combination of water and beef bouillon cubes to maintain the rich flavor of the au jus.
