Beef And Cheese French Dip Roll Ups (Printable)

Savory roast beef and melty cheese in buttery crescent rolls, served with warm au jus dipping sauce. Ready in just 35 minutes.

# What You'll Need:

→ Meats

01 - 10 oz thinly sliced roast beef, deli-style

→ Dairy & Cheese

02 - 1 ½ cups shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
03 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter

→ Bread & Dough

04 - 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

→ Sauces & Condiments

05 - 1 cup beef broth (low sodium recommended)
06 - 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

→ Vegetables & Seasonings

07 - 1 small onion, thinly sliced
08 - 1 garlic clove, minced
09 - ½ tsp black pepper
10 - ½ tsp dried thyme (optional)
11 - ¼ tsp salt

# How To Make:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Heat 1 tbsp butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add onion; sauté 3-4 minutes until tender. Add garlic, half the black pepper, and a pinch of salt; cook 1 minute more. Set aside.
03 - Unroll crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles. Place a few slices of roast beef and sautéed onion mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Sprinkle evenly with cheese.
04 - Roll up each triangle tightly from the wide end. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
05 - Melt remaining butter and brush over tops of roll ups. Sprinkle with remaining black pepper and thyme if using.
06 - Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden.
07 - Combine beef broth and Worcestershire sauce in a small saucepan. Heat over low, simmering for 5 minutes to make the au jus sauce.
08 - Serve hot roll ups with warm au jus for dipping.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The crescent dough creates this impossibly flaky, golden exterior that pairs perfectly with the savory beef filling
  • That warm au jus takes these from good to absolutely cant-stop-eating-them territory
02 -
  • Dont skip brushing the tops with butter—this is what creates that restaurant-style golden finish that makes people think you worked much harder than you did
  • The aujus needs to stay warm, so keep it on the lowest heat setting or transfer to a small thermos if youre serving these at a party
03 -
  • Let the onion mixture cool slightly before assembling so it doesnt melt the cheese too early or make the dough difficult to handle
  • If your crescent dough triangles seem too stretched when rolling, start with a slightly smaller amount of filling—overstuffed roll ups tend to burst open during baking
