Tender roast beef and melted cheese wrapped in flaky crescent dough, served alongside warm au jus for an irresistible dipping experience.

# Ingredient list:

→ 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
11 - ¼ tsp salt

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Heat 1 tbsp butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add onion and 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 - Meanwhile, 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 combination of buttery crescent dough and savory beef is pure comfort food magic
  • That warm au jus takes these from good to absolutely unforgettable
  • They disappear faster than you can say dinner is ready
02 -
  • Do not overfill the triangles or the cheese will escape during baking
  • Let the au jus simmer gently rather than boil to keep the flavor concentrated
  • Serve these immediately because the crescent dough loses its wonderful crispness as it cools
03 -
  • Pat the roast beef dry with paper towels if it seems wet to avoid soggy dough
  • Brush the au jus mixture lightly on the roll ups during the last 2 minutes of baking for extra flavor
