Ingredients
  

  • 4 large burrito-size flour tortillas
  • 1 lb thinly sliced deli roast beef
  • 8 oz provolone cheese slices
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet
  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Small saucepan

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
  2. Assemble the Roll Ups: Lay a tortilla flat. Spread about 1/4 of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla. Layer with provolone slices and then the thinly sliced roast beef.
  3. Roll and Slice: Tightly roll the tortilla into a log. Use a sharp serrated knife to slice the log into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Repeat for all 4 tortillas.
  4. Pan-Sear for Crispy Edges: Place a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the roll ups cut-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  5. Make the Au Jus: While the roll ups cook, combine the beef broth, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and 1/4 tsp garlic powder in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Serve warm for dipping.

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for easy spreading.
For extra clean slices, chill the rolled tortilla logs for 20 minutes before cutting.
Reheat leftovers in a skillet or air fryer to bring back the crispiness.
