Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas, about 12 inches in diameter
  • 8 slices provolone cheese, thinly sliced
  • 12 ounces deli roast beef, freshly sliced
  • 1 cup French fried onions, store-bought or homemade
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Au Jus Ingredients

  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) beef consommé
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Assemble Roll Ups: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. On half of the tortilla, layer 2 slices of provolone cheese, about 3 ounces of freshly sliced roast beef, and a generous handful of French fried onions. Lightly brush the inside edge of the tortilla with olive oil to help seal the roll.
  3. Roll and Arrange: Starting from the filled end, tightly roll the tortilla to enclose the fillings completely. Press the oiled edge to seal the roll-up. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process for all tortillas.
  4. Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the tops and sides of each roll-up with the remaining olive oil. This will promote a crisp, golden crust when baked.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the roll ups for 8 to 10 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through if needed to ensure even browning. The tortillas should turn golden brown and the cheese will start to bubble at the edges.
  6. Prepare Au Jus: While the roll ups bake, combine beef consommé, water, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, whisking occasionally to blend ingredients. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until hot and fragrant.
  7. Rest and Slice: Remove the baked roll ups from the oven and let them rest on a wire rack for about 2 minutes. This short resting period allows the cheese to set slightly. Then slice each roll into halves or thirds for easier serving.
  8. Serve: Arrange the sliced roll ups on a serving platter and serve immediately alongside the warm au jus dipping sauce for a delicious and satisfying appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, brush the roll ups with olive oil just before baking.
  • Homemade French fried onions can be used for a fresher flavor.
  • You can substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella or Swiss cheese if desired.
  • Keep the au jus warm while serving for the best dipping experience.
  • These roll ups can be made ahead and reheated in the oven to retain crispness.
