Vegetables & Meat
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- ½ cup onion, chopped
- 1 pound boneless rib-eye steak, sliced or chopped
Dairy & Wrappers
- 6 slices provolone cheese
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 1 ½ tbsp butter
Seasonings & Oils
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Oil, for deep frying
- Optional: Ranch dressing for dipping
- Sauté Vegetables: Take a large pan and place it on medium heat. Melt half of the total butter (¾ tbsp). Add the chopped green bell pepper and onion to the melted butter. Cook the vegetables for 3 to 4 minutes until they soften. Remove the veggies and set them aside on a plate, covering them to keep warm.
- Cook Rib-Eye Steak: In the same pan, melt the remaining butter (¾ tbsp). Add the sliced or chopped rib-eye steak, seasoning it with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook the steak for 3 to 4 minutes until browned on the outside and fully cooked inside.
- Combine Steak and Veggies: Add the sautéed bell pepper and onion back into the pan with the cooked steak. Mix well to combine the flavors evenly.
- Prepare Egg Rolls: Unfold each egg roll wrapper. Place half a slice of provolone cheese in the center of each wrapper. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the steak and vegetable mixture on top of the cheese. Fold the wrappers according to the package instructions, using water to moisten and seal the edges securely.
- Deep Fry Egg Rolls: Heat enough oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry 3 to 4 egg rolls at a time, turning occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes or until they are evenly browned and crispy.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the fried egg rolls and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm, optionally accompanied by ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Use rib-eye steak for the best flavor and tenderness; sirloin can be substituted if preferred.
- Be careful not to overfill the egg rolls to prevent tearing during frying.
- Use a thermometer to ensure oil is around 350°F (175°C) for perfect frying results.
- Serve immediately for the best crispiness; leftovers can be reheated in an air fryer or oven.
- For a lighter version, consider pan-frying or air-frying the rolls instead of deep frying.
