Delicious pinwheels filled with savory roast beef, gooey provolone, and caramelized onions, perfect for appetizers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 (8 oz) store-bought crescent dough sheets
- 16 slices provolone cheese, divided
- ¾ lb sliced deli roast beef
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef stock
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and fresh thyme, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until caramelized, about 10–15 minutes.
- Unroll the crescent dough sheets and lay them flat on a clean surface.
- Layer half of the provolone cheese slices over the dough, followed by half of the caramelized onions and half of the roast beef slices.
- Roll the dough into a log and slice into 1-inch pinwheels. Repeat for the second sheet.
- Place the pinwheels cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown.
- Prepare the dipping sauce by melting an additional tablespoon of butter in a saucepan. Cook the minced garlic for 30 seconds, then stir in beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Let simmer for 5–7 minutes.
- Serve the pinwheels warm with the au jus for dipping.
