Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound thinly sliced ribeye steak
- 8 ounces (226 grams) provolone cheese, shredded
Vegetables:
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
Seasonings and Wrappers:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 10 egg roll wrappers
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Sear the ribeye steak in a hot skillet over medium-high heat until richly browned, creating a caramelized exterior. Transfer meat to a separate plate.
- In the identical skillet, gently sauté sliced onions and green bell peppers until they become translucent and tender, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Reintroduce the cooked steak into the vegetable mixture, seasoning generously with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Allow the ingredients to meld together briefly, then remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
- Arrange egg roll wrappers on a clean surface, positioning each wrapper diagonally. Distribute the warm steak and vegetable mixture centrally, ensuring even placement.
- Sprinkle provolone cheese generously over the filling, providing a rich, melty layer that will enhance the overall flavor profile.
- Carefully fold the bottom corner of the wrapper upward, tucking in the sides tightly to create a secure envelope. Roll the wrapper compactly, using a small amount of water to seal the final edge.
- Heat cooking oil in a deep fryer or large pan to precisely 350°F (175°C). Carefully lower egg rolls into the hot oil, frying in small batches until they achieve a golden-brown, crispy exterior, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Remove egg rolls using a slotted spoon, allowing excess oil to drain on absorbent paper towels. Serve immediately alongside your preferred dipping sauce for maximum enjoyment.
Notes
- Use high-quality ribeye steak for maximum flavor and tenderness, ensuring even cooking and juicy results.
- Let the steak mixture cool slightly before wrapping to prevent soggy egg roll wrappers and maintain crispy texture.
- Pat the steak dry before cooking to enhance browning and prevent excess moisture during frying.
- Seal egg roll edges completely with water to prevent filling from leaking during deep-frying.
- For a healthier alternative, bake egg rolls at 425F for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crisp.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like cheddar or pepper jack for unique flavor profiles.
- Keep oil temperature consistent at 350F to achieve perfect golden-brown crispiness without burning.
