Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • Flour Tortillas: Choose large flour tortillas for easy rolling; they hold everything together without tearing.
  • Ribeye Steak: Opt for ribeye for its rich flavor; thinly slice it against the grain for tenderness.
  • Provolone Cheese: This melty cheese adds creaminess and depth; feel free to mix in some mozzarella if you like.
  • Beef Broth: Use low-sodium beef broth to control salt levels; it enhances the dipping experience.
  • Onions: Sweet onions caramelize beautifully; they’ll bring sweetness that balances the savory filling perfectly.
  • Garlic Powder: For that extra kick of flavor, garlic powder is a must-have; it complements the beef wonderfully.
  • Black Pepper: Freshly cracked black pepper elevates the overall flavor profile; don’t skimp on this!
  • Dijon Mustard: A touch of Dijon mustard provides tanginess that cuts through richness; use sparingly for best results.

Let’s Make it Together

Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients on your countertop so you don’t play hide and seek while cooking. Slice your ribeye steak into thin strips—this will make rolling easier later.

Cook the Steak and Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and toss in those sliced onions. Cook until they’re soft and golden brown—about 5-7 minutes—then add in your steak strips seasoned with garlic powder and black pepper until cooked through.

Assemble the Roll-Ups: Lay out your flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on each tortilla followed by an even distribution of steak-onion mixture and top with provolone cheese.

Roll It Up!: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly from one end to another to secure all that cheesy goodness inside. Ensure every bite has ample filling—no one likes sad roll-ups!

Sear the Roll-Ups: Heat your skillet again over medium heat with a little oil. Place each rolled-up tortilla seam-side down into the pan until golden brown—about 2-3 minutes per side—creating that crispy outer layer.

Prepare the Dipping Broth: While your roll-ups cool slightly, warm up some beef broth in another saucepan over low heat. This is where all those flavors come alive!

Serve It Up!: Cut each roll-up into bite-sized pieces and serve with bowls of warm beef broth for dipping—a true taste sensation that’s sure to wow everyone!

These French Dip Tortilla Roll Ups are perfect for gatherings or lazy movie nights. Enjoy every cheesy bite dipped in warm broth—it’s comfort food at its finest!
