Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces sliced roast beef lunch meat
- 1 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
- 2 Tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your workspace. Gather all ingredients and a mixing bowl. This will streamline the process and ensure you have everything at hand.
- In the mixing bowl, combine the 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with 2 tablespoons of Italian seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder. Use a spatula or mixer to blend until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated, about 2 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when it’s creamy without any lumps.
- Take one slice of the roast beef and lay it flat on a clean surface. Using a spatula, spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture evenly across the slice, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow when rolling.
- Starting at one end, carefully roll the roast beef tightly around the cream cheese mixture. Ensure the roll is tight enough to hold together but not so tight that the filling spills out. Repeat this process for the remaining slices.
- Once all the rolls are completed, place them seam-side down on a plate. This will help them maintain their shape. Cover the plate with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps the rolls firm up, making them easier to slice.
- After chilling, remove the roll-ups from the refrigerator. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 1/2 inch pieces. You should see beautiful spirals of beef and herb cream cheese!
- Arrange the sliced roll-ups on a serving platter and serve immediately, or keep them chilled until ready to enjoy. Make sure to cut them evenly to ensure that every piece has a balanced filling.

Keywords: Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to ensure a smooth, spreadable texture. For the best flavor, let the roll-ups chill longer than 30 minutes if you can — 1-2 hours is even better.
