Easy French Dip Roll Ups (Printable)
Tender roast beef with cheese and caramelized onions wrapped in tortillas, baked crisp and paired with warm au jus.
# What You Need:
→ For the Roll Ups
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
→ For the Au Jus
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 Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter with olive oil. 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 each, layer sliced roast beef, caramelized onions, and one slice of provolone cheese.
04 - Tightly roll up each tortilla and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Optionally, brush the tops lightly with olive oil for extra crispness.
05 - Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until tortillas are golden and crisp, and cheese is melted.
06 - Meanwhile, 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. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
07 - Remove roll ups from the oven, let cool slightly, then slice in half if desired. Serve warm with hot au jus for dipping.
# Helpful Tips:
01 -
- These roll ups come together in about 35 minutes start to finish, making them perfect for those weeknight evenings when you want something comforting but dont have hours to devote to the kitchen.
- The combination of tender beef, melty provolone, and sweet onions wrapped in a crispy tortilla creates that perfect hand held satisfaction that somehow feels even better than the original sandwich.
02 -
- Roll the tortillas tightly but gently—if you roll too aggressively, the tortilla will tear, and if you are too loose, the filling will slide right out.
- Letting the roll ups rest for even two minutes after baking helps them set up slightly, making them easier to slice and handle without everything spilling out.
03 -
- Brushing the tops of the roll ups with a little olive oil before baking gives them that extra golden crunch that makes them feel restaurant quality.
- If your tortillas are stiff from the fridge, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 15 seconds—they will roll without cracking.
