Step‑by‑Step Instructions

1. Prep the filling. Lay out tortillas. Sprinkle about 3–4 tablespoons of cheese on each tortilla. Add thin slices of roast beef. Season lightly with salt, pepper, a little garlic powder, and onion powder.
2. Roll tight. Roll each tortilla tightly around the beef and cheese. Tuck ends in to keep filling from falling out.
3. Heat the skillet. Put the skillet on medium heat and add the melted butter. Let it warm but not burn.
4. Brown the roll ups. Place roll ups seam-side down in the skillet. Cook about 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cheese melts inside. Turn with tongs to brown evenly.
5. Make the dip. While roll ups brown, warm the beef broth in a small pot. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, the extra garlic and onion powder, and parsley. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. Keep it hot.
6. Serve hot. Remove roll ups from the skillet and place on a plate. Serve immediately with a bowl of the warm beef broth for dipping.
