Ingredients

Caramelized Onions

  • ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Roast Beef Rolls

  • all-purpose flour, for work surface
  • 2 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 10 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 pound deli roast beef, shaved or thinly sliced

Butter Topping

  • ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Caramelized Onions

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter.
  • Add onions and sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to soften and brown (about 5 minutes).
  • Add salt and pepper and reduce heat to medium.
  • Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and caramelized (10-15 more minutes).
  • Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.

Roast Beef Rolls

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Remove the crescent rolls from the cans. On a lightly floured surface, unroll the crescent dough and combine into one large rectangle. Pinch together the seams.
  • Top with provolone cheese, roast beef, and caramelized onions.
  • Roll up tightly starting on the long edge.
  • Using a very sharp knife, cut the log into 12 rolls. Place them into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake for 43-45 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.

Butter Topping

  • When the roast beef rolls are almost done baking, prepare the salted butter topping. In a small, microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the salt and parsley.
  • Brush the salted butter over the warm rolls. Serve.
