Main Ingredients
- 1/2 lb thinly sliced steak (such as ribeye or sirloin)
- 1 cup shredded provolone or American cheese
- 1/2 cup diced green bell peppers
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 6–8 egg roll wrappers
- Oil for frying (neutral oil with high smoke point, e.g., vegetable or canola oil)
Seasonings
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Optional: 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Prep the Filling: Begin by thinly slicing the steak and cooking it in a hot skillet with a bit of oil until browned but still tender. Set aside. Next, sauté diced onions and green bell peppers in the same skillet until soft and lightly caramelized to unlock their natural sweetness.
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the cooked steak, sautéed peppers and onions, and shredded cheese. Add salt, pepper, and optional Worcestershire sauce or garlic powder to enhance the savory flavor.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place a generous spoonful of the filling near the corner closest to you. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to seal the egg roll, using a dab of water to moisten the edges and keep them closed.
- Fry Until Golden: Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to approximately 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches, cooking each for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil before serving.
Notes
- Slice steak thinly for quick cooking and tender texture.
- Do not overfill the egg roll wrappers to prevent tearing.
- Use fresh or properly stored wrappers to make rolling easier.
- Maintain consistent oil temperature to avoid greasy or undercooked egg rolls.
- Drain fried egg rolls on paper towels immediately to keep them crisp.
