Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin recommended)
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 4–6 slices provolone cheese (or shredded equivalent)
- 8–10 egg roll wrappers
- 2 tablespoons butter
Seasonings
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
For Frying
- Neutral oil (vegetable or canola), enough for deep frying (about 4 cups)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and bell peppers, sautéing until soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Add the beef slices, seasoning with salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointed toward you. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto the wrapper near the bottom corner. Top with a slice or some shredded provolone cheese. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold both side corners inward. Roll tightly toward the top corner, sealing the edges with a dab of water or egg wash to secure.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the egg rolls in batches, frying for 2-3 minutes per side or until they turn golden brown and crisp. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let the egg rolls cool for a minute or two after frying. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces such as spicy mayo, ranch, or cheese sauce.
Notes
- Use thinly sliced beef for quick cooking and a tender filling.
- Avoid overfilling to prevent wrappers from breaking while frying.
- Seal egg roll wrappers properly using water or egg wash to keep them closed.
- Maintain oil temperature at 350°F (175°C) when frying; fry in batches to avoid temperature drops.
- Allow filling to cool slightly before wrapping to prevent soggy wrappers.
