Ingredients
Scale
Roll-Ups
- 8 slices sliced roast beef lunch meat
Herb Cream Cheese Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare the Herb Cream Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and evenly seasoned, ensuring a flavorful filling.
- Spread the Filling: Take each slice of roast beef and evenly spread about 1 tablespoon of the herb cream cheese mixture over the entire surface. This ensures every bite is rich and tasty.
- Roll the Beef Slices: Carefully roll each slice of roast beef tightly from one end to the other, keeping the cream cheese filling inside. Repeat until all slices are rolled into neat bundles.
- Chill the Roll-Ups: Place the beef roll-ups seam-side down on a plate to secure them. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the rolls firm up and make slicing easier.
- Slice for Serving: Once chilled, slice each roll-up into ½ inch thick pieces. These bite-sized portions make them perfect for party platters or snacks.
- Optional Garnish: Garnish with fresh herbs such as parsley or chives for added color and flavor before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to allow for easy mixing and spreading.
- For a spicier version, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the cream cheese mixture.
- These roll-ups can be made a few hours ahead and kept refrigerated until serving.
- Use gluten-free roast beef lunch meat to keep the recipe gluten-free.
- To make it vegetarian, substitute roast beef with large grilled portobello mushrooms or thinly sliced grilled vegetables.
