INGREDIENTS

FOR THE ROLL UPS
1 tube crescent dough
3 tbsp. mustard
1 lb. deli roast beef
12 slices provolene cheese
1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 sprigs thyme
1 tsp. kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tbsp. Flaky sea salt
1 tbsp. finely choppped parsley

FOR THE AU JUS
1 tbsp. unsalted butter
1 Garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 c. beef stock
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp. thyme leaves

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350º and grease an 8"-x-8" baking pan with cooking spray.

On a lightly floured surface, unroll dough and separate sheet into rectangles, then pinch perforations to seal. Spread mustard onto rectangles and set aside.

Caramelize onions: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter, then stir in onions and thyme sprigs. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions begin to soften and turn slightly golden. Season with salt and pepper, then reduce heat to medium and continue cooking until onions are soft and caramelized.

Make roll-ups: Top rectangles with roast beef and cheese, then cover with caramelized onions. Starting with one short side, roll up each rectangle. Pinch edges to seal, then brush with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder, sea salt, and parsley. Cut each roll into 5 to 6 slices and place cut side up on baking pan. Bake until dough is slightly golden and cheese is melty, 15 to 18 minutes.

Make au jus: In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme, then season with salt and pepper and simmer until reduced, about 10 minutes.

Garnish with parsley and serve with au jus sauce for dipping.
