Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 1 pound boneless ribeye steak, sliced or coarsely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 slices provolone cheese
Assembly
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- Oil for frying
- Ranch for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped green bell pepper and onion, sautéing until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the peppers and onions from the pan and set aside.
- Cook the Steak: In the same pan, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced ribeye steak, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Combine Filling: Return the cooked peppers and onions to the pan with the steak, stirring well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Assemble Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place half a slice of provolone cheese in the center, then spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the steak mixture on top. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, sealing the edges with a little water to prevent opening during cooking.
- Fry: Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches for 3-5 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Bake Option: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly spray the egg rolls with cooking spray and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway, until the egg rolls are crispy and golden brown.
Notes
- Use ribeye steak or any tender cut for best flavor and texture.
- For a lighter option, use the baking method instead of frying.
- Egg roll wrappers can be found in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores.
- Serve with ranch or your favorite dipping sauce.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to avoid greasy egg rolls.
