Ingredients
- Thinly Sliced Deli Roast Beef
- Provolone Cheese Slices
- Large Flour Tortillas
- Cream Cheese (softened)
- Prepared Horseradish
- Au Jus Mix or Concentrate
- Optional: Caramelized Onions
Instructions
- Prepare Your Au Jus: First things first, get your dipping sauce ready. If you’re using a packet mix or concentrate, prepare it according to the package directions. Keep it warm on the stovetop over very low heat or in a small slow cooker.
- Make the Creamy Spread: In a small bowl, combine your softened cream cheese, prepared horseradish, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix until everything is smooth and well combined.
- Prepare Optional Caramelized Onions: If you're using caramelized onions, gently sauté them until they're golden brown and sweet. Let them cool slightly before adding them to the roll-ups.
- Assemble Your Tortillas: Lay a large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about 2-3 tablespoons of the creamy spread evenly over the tortilla.
- Layer the Beef: Arrange your thinly sliced roast beef over the cream cheese layer, covering most of the tortilla.
- Add the Cheese and Onions: Place slices of provolone cheese over the roast beef. If using caramelized onions, sprinkle a small amount over the cheese layer.
- Roll 'Em Up Tight: Starting from one edge, tightly roll the tortilla, tucking in the filling as you go. Press down on the seam to help it seal.
- Chill for Easy Slicing: Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Slice and Serve: Unwrap your rolls and slice each roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange them on a serving platter with a small bowl of warm au jus for dipping.

Keywords: Don't skimp on the au jus; consider enhancing it with beef broth or herbs. Ensure even spreading of the cream cheese for better flavor distribution, and roll tightly for neat pinwheels. Chill the rolls for cleaner cuts and serve them warm or cold.
