Ingredients

  • Butter – 1 ½ tbsp.
  • Green bell pepper, chopped – 1
  • Onion, chopped – ½ cup
  • Boneless rib-eye steak, sliced or chopped – 1 pound
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Provolone cheese – 6 slices
  • Egg roll wrappers – 12
  • Oil for frying
  • Optional: Ranch for dipping

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat half of the butter (¾ tbsp) in a large pan over medium flame. Add the chopped green bell pepper and onion, cooking for 3 to 4 minutes until softened.
  2. Step 2: Remove the cooked vegetables from the pan and keep them covered on a plate to retain heat.
  3. Step 3: Melt the remaining butter in the same pan. Add the rib-eye steak slices and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the meat is browned and cooked through.
  4. Step 4: Return the cooked vegetables to the pan and stir to combine with the steak.
  5. Step 5: Unfold the egg roll wrappers. Place half a slice of provolone cheese in the center of each wrapper.
  6. Step 6: Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the steak and vegetable mixture onto the cheese. Fold the wrappers according to package instructions, using water to seal the edges securely.
  7. Step 7: Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Fry 3 to 4 egg rolls at a time, turning as needed, for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Step 8: Drain the fried egg rolls on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch if desired.

Tips & Variations

  • Use rib-eye steak for the best flavor, but thinly sliced sirloin or flank steak can work well too.
  • Add mushrooms or jalapeños to the vegetable mix for extra depth and a kick.
  • Try swapping provolone for mozzarella or American cheese for a different twist.
  • If you prefer baking over frying, brush the egg rolls with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15 to 20 minutes until crispy.

Storage

Store leftover cooked filling and assembled but uncooked egg rolls in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best texture, fry or bake egg rolls fresh before serving. Reheat cooked egg rolls in a hot oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I prepare the filling ahead of time?

Yes, you can make the steak and vegetable filling a day ahead. Keep it refrigerated and assemble the egg rolls just before cooking.

What can I use if I don’t have egg roll wrappers?

Wonton wrappers can be a good substitute in a pinch, though they are smaller and will require less filling per roll. Large flour tortillas could also work but will give a different texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • ½ cup onion, chopped
    • Meat and Dairy

      • 1 pound boneless rib-eye steak, sliced or chopped
      • 6 slices provolone cheese
      • 1 ½ tbsp butter, divided

      Other

      • 12 egg roll wrappers
      • Salt, to taste
      • Black pepper, to taste
      • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil recommended)
      • Water (for sealing egg roll wrappers)
      • Optional: Ranch dressing for dipping

Instructions

  1. Sauté the vegetables: Heat half the butter (¾ tablespoon) in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped green bell pepper and onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften. Remove from pan and cover to keep warm.
  2. Cook the steak: Melt the remaining butter in the same pan. Add the rib-eye steak, seasoning with salt and black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the steak turns brown and is cooked through.
  3. Combine steak and vegetables: Return the sautéed vegetables to the pan with the cooked steak and mix thoroughly to combine the flavors.
  4. Assemble the egg rolls: Lay out an egg roll wrapper and place half a slice of provolone cheese in the center. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the steak and vegetable filling on top of the cheese. Fold and roll the wrapper tightly according to package directions, using water to seal the edges firmly.
  5. Fry the egg rolls: Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry 3-4 egg rolls at a time, turning occasionally, for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Drain and serve: Remove the egg rolls from oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite sauce, such as ranch dressing if desired.

Notes

  • Use a sharp knife to slice the rib-eye thinly for tender filling.
  • Ensure oil is hot enough before frying to get a crispy texture without absorbing excess oil.
  • Seal the egg rolls tightly to prevent filling from leaking during frying.
  • Leftover filling can be stored refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated for use.
  • For a lighter option, try baking the egg rolls at 400°F (204°C) for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through.
