ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak
provolone cheese slices or shredded provolone
green bell pepper
onion
garlic
salt
black pepper
olive oil
egg roll wrappers
egg (for sealing)
oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

directions

Thinly slice the onion and bell pepper, then mince the garlic.

In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the onion, bell pepper, and garlic until soft and slightly caramelized.

Add the thinly sliced steak to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through. Season with salt and black pepper.

Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Chop the steak mixture into smaller pieces if desired for easier rolling.

Lay out an egg roll wrapper with one corner facing you (like a diamond).

Place a spoonful of the meat mixture in the center and top with provolone.

Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly. Seal the edge with a bit of beaten egg.

Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3–4 minutes per side.

Drain on paper towels before serving.
