Meat and Cheese
- 1 pound rib-eye steak, thinly sliced
- 6 slices provolone cheese
Vegetables
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- ½ cup onion, chopped
Other
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- Oil for frying (about 2 cups or enough for deep frying)
- 1 tablespoon butter, divided
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat half of the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped green bell pepper and onions and sauté until they are softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Cook Steak: In the same pan, add the remaining butter and the thinly sliced rib-eye steak. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the steak is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Combine Filling: Mix the sautéed vegetables with the cooked steak directly in the pan, ensuring everything is well combined and evenly heated.
- Assemble Egg Rolls: Lay out an egg roll wrapper and place a slice of provolone cheese in the center. Spoon some of the steak and vegetable filling on top. Fold and roll the wrapper securely to encase the filling, sealing the edges to prevent leakage.
- Fry Egg Rolls: Heat enough oil in a deep frying pan to submerge the egg rolls, about 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute rib-eye with sirloin or flank steak if preferred.
- Ensure the egg roll wrappers are sealed properly to avoid oil splatter while frying.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce such as marinara, ranch, or a spicy aioli for added flavor.
- Leftover filling can be refrigerated and used for sandwiches or salads.
- For a healthier option, consider baking egg rolls at 425°F for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through.
