Description
A refined take on the classic French dip, these tortilla roll ups feature slow-braised beef, melted cheese, and an aromatic au jus in elegant pinwheels.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large flour tortillas (8–10 inch), room temperature
- 12–16 oz thinly sliced roast beef
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 small shallot, finely minced
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 sprig fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried)
- 1 tsp butter (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise mixed with 1–2 tsp prepared horseradish
- 8 slices provolone or Swiss cheese
- 2 tbsp butter, melted (for brushing)
- Fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the au jus: Sweat shallot and garlic in butter over medium heat for 1–2 minutes. Add broth, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Simmer for 8–10 minutes.
- Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 15–20 seconds.
- Assemble the roll ups: Spread horseradish mayo on the center of each tortilla. Layer roast beef and cheese.
- Roll tightly and brush with melted butter.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the roll ups seam-side down for 2–3 minutes per side until golden-brown.
- Let rest for 1 minute before slicing into pinwheels.
- Serve with warmed au jus for dipping.
Notes
For cleaner slices, chill assembled rolls for 30–60 seconds before cutting. Use thinly sliced beef for easier rolling.
