French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups (Print version)
Tender roast beef, caramelized onions, and cheese rolled in tortillas, baked to crispy perfection.
# Ingredient List:
→ Roll Up Components
01 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch diameter)
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
09 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
→ Au Jus Dipping Sauce
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 Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even crisping.
02 - Melt butter with olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme during cooking.
03 - Lay tortillas flat on a clean surface. On each tortilla, layer sliced roast beef, caramelized onions, and one slice of provolone cheese evenly.
04 - Tightly roll up each tortilla starting from one end, creating a compact cylinder. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Optionally brush tops with olive oil for enhanced crispiness.
05 - Bake for 10-12 minutes until tortillas achieve a golden-brown color and become crisp, and cheese is fully melted throughout.
06 - While roll ups bake, 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 to develop flavor. Adjust seasoning if needed.
07 - Remove roll ups from oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes. Slice each roll in half diagonally for easier handling. Serve immediately with warm au jus for dipping.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- They take the classic French Dip sandwich experience and make it portable, dunkable, and incredibly easy to serve to a crowd
- The caramelized onions add a sweetness that perfectly balances the savory beef and rich au jus
02 -
- Roll the tortillas tightly while they're at room temperature, otherwise they'll crack and the filling will spill out during baking
- Let the onions caramelize properly—rushing this step means missing the deep flavor that makes these roll ups sing
03 -
- Warm your tortillas in the microwave for 15-20 seconds before rolling to make them more pliable and less likely to tear
- If the au jus seems too salty, add a splash of water or more beef broth until it tastes right to you
