Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
