Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Thinly sliced roast beef (6-8 ounces)
- Provolone or Swiss cheese slices (4-6 slices)
- Flour tortillas or wraps (4 large)
- Beef broth or au jus (1 to 1 ½ cups, warmed)
Optional Ingredients
- Dijon mustard or horseradish sauce (1-2 tablespoons)
- Butter or oil (2 tablespoons, for pan)
- Garlic powder (¼ teaspoon)
- Onion powder (¼ teaspoon)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Gather your thinly sliced roast beef, cheese, and tortillas. Warm the beef and cheese slightly to make rolling easier and to start melting the cheese.
- Assemble the Roll Ups: Lay out each tortilla flat, then evenly layer slices of beef over it. Top with cheese slices and sprinkle lightly with garlic powder and onion powder, or your preferred seasonings.
- Roll It Tight: Starting from one edge, carefully roll up the tortilla to fully enclose the beef and cheese, ensuring the filling is secured for neat roll ups.
- Heat and Crisp: Brush a pan with butter or oil and lightly brown the roll ups over medium heat, turning them so all sides are golden and the cheese inside melts thoroughly.
- Prepare the Au Jus Dip: Warm the beef broth or au jus in a small bowl or pot and keep it hot and ready for dipping.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the roll ups with the warm au jus on the side for dipping. Optionally, spread a dab of mustard or horseradish sauce inside before rolling for extra flavor.
Notes
- Use thin slices of beef for quick warming and easy rolling.
- Avoid overfilling to prevent roll ups from bursting or becoming too thick.
- Warm tortillas before assembling to prevent cracking or tearing.
- Fully melt cheese by crisping the roll ups in a pan for a balanced texture.
- Keep au jus warm to maintain authentic dipping experience.
