Description
A crunchy, cheesy hand-held take on the timeless French dip—rolled in a tortilla, baked until golden, then dunked into a savory dipping broth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb very thinly sliced roast beef (deli slices or leftover roast), torn or folded as needed
- 1½ cups shredded provolone or mozzarella (or a mix)
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size work best)
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley (optional, for garnish)
For the dipping broth (au jus)
- 2 cups beef stock
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a rimmed baking tray with parchment.
- Spread a tortilla flat. Layer a portion of roast beef along the center, then top with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese—leave about an inch clear around the edges.
- Tuck the sides in slightly, then roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other. Place seam-side down on the prepared tray. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Brush each roll with the melted butter. Evenly dust the tops with garlic powder, onion powder and a little dried parsley.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the tortillas take on a golden brown color and the cheese inside is fully melted.
- While the rolls bake, make the au jus: combine beef stock, Worcestershire, soy sauce, onion and garlic powders in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook 5–7 minutes to let flavors meld. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove the rolls from the oven, let them rest for a minute, then slice on the diagonal if desired. Serve hot with warm au jus for dipping.
Notes
- Want lighter? Use low-carb tortillas or wrap the filling in large lettuce leaves.
- For heat, tuck in sliced jalapeños or drizzle hot sauce inside before rolling.
- Provolone gives classic French-dip flavor; mozzarella gives extra stringy, gooey texture—pick your vibe.
- Line the pan with parchment for easy removal and simple cleanup.
