Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes. This recipe is forgiving. Make the roll ups and refrigerate them before baking, then bake when you are ready. They also freeze well unbaked for future use.

How do I keep the French fried onions from getting soggy?

Add them just before rolling. If you assemble and hold for longer periods, store the onions separately and sprinkle them on before baking for best crunch.

Can I skip the au jus?

You can. The roll ups are still tasty without dipping. However, the au jus brings a warm, savory note that lifts the whole bite and makes it feel more like a French dip experience.

What oven cues should I look for?

Watch for the tortillas to turn lightly golden and for cheese to bubble at the edges. Those are gentle signals that the inside is warm and the exterior has the right finish.

Is there a good pairing for dessert after these?

Yes. A small, simple dessert works best. Think no-fuss desserts that are easy to plate, such as a fruit crisp or a simple cake slice. For a quick chilled finish, a yogurt parfait or other easy dessert recipes offer freshness without extra time.

Instructions

Set oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lay a tortilla flat and place 2 slices of provolone cheese over half of it. Add approximately 3 ounces of roast beef and a generous handful of French fried onions.
Brush the inside edge of the tortilla lightly with olive oil.
Starting from the filled end, roll up the tortilla tightly and press the oiled edge to seal. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas, keeping the rolls snug on the sheet.
Brush tops and sides of each roll with the remaining olive oil.
Bake for 8–10 minutes or until golden brown and cheese begins to bubble at the edges.
While roll ups bake, combine consommé, water, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Heat over medium and whisk to blend; simmer for 3–4 minutes until hot and fragrant.
Let baked roll ups rest for 2 minutes on a wire rack before slicing.
Serve slices on a platter with warm au jus for dipping.

Notes

Rolls can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated. They also freeze well unbaked for future use.
