Ingredients
- Large Flour Tortillas (10-inch burrito size)
- Thinly Sliced Deli Roast Beef
- Provolone Cheese Slices
- Butter or Olive Oil
- Beef Broth or Stock
- Worcestershire Sauce
- Garlic Powder
- Onion Powder
- Soy Sauce (optional)
- Thyme or Rosemary (optional)
- Store-Bought Au Jus Concentrate (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Au Jus: In a small saucepan, combine your beef broth or stock, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. If using, add the optional soy sauce or fresh herbs. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and keep warm while you prepare the roll ups.
- Assemble the Tortillas: Lay your large flour tortillas flat on a clean work surface. Warm them slightly in a dry skillet for 10-15 seconds per side, or in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
- Layer the Fillings: On each tortilla, place two slices of provolone cheese, slightly overlapping them. Evenly distribute about 2-3 ounces of the thinly sliced roast beef over the cheese.
- Roll Them Up: Starting from one edge, tightly roll the tortilla like you would a burrito. Fold in the sides about an inch or two as you roll, then continue rolling tightly until you reach the other side.
- Pan-Fry to Golden Perfection: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1-2 tablespoons of butter or olive oil. Carefully place 2-3 roll ups in the skillet, seam-side down first. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until each side is golden brown and crispy.
- Slice and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the roll ups to a cutting board. Let them rest for a minute or two, then slice each roll up into 2-3 pieces on the diagonal. Serve with warm au jus in small dipping bowls.

Keywords: Don't overfill the tortillas to avoid difficulty in rolling. Warm tortillas make them more pliable. Consider adding caramelized onions for extra flavor, or a horseradish cream sauce for a kick.
