Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 10 egg rolls
Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 small onion, thinly sliced
-
1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1/2 pound ribeye steak or shaved beef, thinly sliced
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
-
1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
-
10 egg roll wrappers
-
1 tablespoon water (for sealing wrappers)
-
Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Filling
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions (and bell peppers if using) and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Add the thinly sliced beef and season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 4–5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Mix in the shredded cheese while the filling is still warm so it melts nicely throughout.
Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls
Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond). Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the beef and cheese filling onto the center. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly away from you, brushing a bit of water on the top corner to seal the roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 3: Fry the Egg Rolls
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium heat (350°F / 175°C). Carefully place a few egg rolls at a time into the hot oil, seam side down. Fry for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove with tongs and drain on paper towels.
Serving Suggestions
Serve hot with a side of cheese sauce, ranch dressing, or spicy ketchup. These egg rolls are also great with a drizzle of hot sauce or alongside a fresh salad to balance the richness.
