Ingredients

Scale

Roll Ups

  • 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 Sauce

  • 1 can beef consommé (10.5 ounces)
  • 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. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Assemble the Roll Ups: Lay one tortilla flat on your clean countertop. Place 2 slices of provolone cheese over half of the tortilla, then add approximately 3 ounces of freshly sliced roast beef. Top with a generous handful of French fried onions. Brush the inside edge of the tortilla lightly with olive oil to help seal.
  3. Roll and Bake: Starting from the filled end, roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the fillings. Press the oiled edge to seal and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas, then brush the tops and sides with remaining olive oil.
  4. Bake: Bake the roll ups for 8–10 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese starts bubbling.
  5. Rest and Slice: Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes on a wire rack. Slice each roll into halves or thirds for serving and arrange on a platter.
  6. Prepare Au Jus Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine beef consommé, water, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder. Heat over medium, whisking to ensure ingredients are blended, then bring to a gentle simmer for 3–4 minutes until hot and fragrant.
  7. Serve: Serve the sliced roll ups immediately with warm au jus for dipping.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas and ensure the French fried onions are gluten-free.
  • You can prepare the au jus sauce in advance and reheat gently before serving.
  • Use freshly sliced deli roast beef for the best flavor and texture.
  • Brushing the tortillas with olive oil helps achieve a crispy, golden crust when baked.
  • Serve roll ups warm for the best taste and texture experience.
