4. Bake (optional, for melted cheese)
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place roll-ups on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
- Bake 10–12 minutes until cheese melts and edges are slightly golden.
5. Prepare au jus for dipping

- Variations: Add sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or Dijon mustard for extra flavor.
- Cheese options: Swiss, provolone, or cheddar all work well.
I can also give a quick no-bake version that’s ready in under 10 minutes and still tastes like French dip.
