How to Make French Onion Beef Roll-Ups

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs flank steak (or top sirloin), thinly sliced
• 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons olive oil (for brushing)
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until golden brown (about 20-25 minutes).
3. Add garlic, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
4. Season beef slices with salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard.
5. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the onion mixture onto each beef slice, top with shredded Gruyère cheese, then roll up and secure with toothpicks.
6. In the same skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Brown the roll-ups on all sides (about 3-4 minutes).
7. Transfer the roll-ups to a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until beef is cooked through and cheese is melted.
8. Let the roll-ups rest for a few minutes, remove toothpicks, and serve with your favorite side dishes.

How to Serve French Onion Beef Roll-Ups

Serve French Onion Beef Roll-Ups hot and straight from the oven. They pair wonderfully with a fresh green salad, roasted vegetables, or a side of mashed potatoes. You can also serve them with dipping sauces like ranch or a tangy balsamic glaze for an extra burst of flavor.

How to Store French Onion Beef Roll-Ups

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep for about 3-4 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, or microwave for a quick option.

Tips to Make French Onion Beef Roll-Ups

• Use flank steak or top sirloin for the best texture. Thinly slice the meat against the grain for tenderness.
• Caramelizing the onions may take time, but it enhances their sweetness and flavor. Patience is key!
• Feel free to add extra herbs like parsley or sautéed mushrooms to the filling for added flavor.

Variation

If you want to switch things up, you can use different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or provolone. For a spicier kick, add some jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes to the onion mixture.

FAQs

1. Can I make these roll-ups ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the roll-ups a day in advance, store them in the refrigerator, and bake them just before serving.

Yes, you can use other cuts of beef like sirloin or ribeye as long as they are thinly sliced.

3. How can I make these roll-ups gluten-free?
To make them gluten-free, ensure that the Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard are gluten-free options, or skip these if you prefer.
