  • Total Time: 29 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1 Sweet Onion (Sliced)
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper (Sliced)
  • 1 Jalapeno (Diced, Seeds Removed)

Protein & Cheese

  • 1 Pound Ribeye (Thinly Sliced)
  • 2 Cups Provolone Cheese (Shredded)
  • 1 Egg (Mixed with 1 tablespoon of Water for Egg Wash)

Others

  • 8 Egg Roll Wrappers
  • Vegetable Oil (For Frying)

Instructions

  1. Sauté Vegetables: In a medium skillet, heat a small amount of vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced sweet onion, green bell pepper, and diced jalapeno. Sauté until vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Cook Steak: Add the thinly sliced ribeye steak to the skillet with the vegetables. Cook together until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness, stirring occasionally, about 4-6 minutes.
  3. Heat Oil for Frying: In a large deep pot or cast iron skillet, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there is enough oil for deep frying but do not overcrowd the pot.
  4. Assemble Egg Rolls: Lay out the egg roll wrappers. Evenly divide the steak and vegetable mixture among the wrappers. Top each with shredded provolone cheese. Be careful not to overfill.
  5. Seal Egg Rolls: Fold the sides of each egg roll wrapper over the filling, then roll tightly. Seal the edges using the egg wash (egg mixed with water) to prevent them from opening during frying.
  6. Fry Egg Rolls: Fry the egg rolls in batches in the hot oil at 350°F, cooking a few minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pot to ensure even cooking.
  7. Drain and Serve: Remove the fried egg rolls from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Be sure to slice the ribeye steak thinly for quicker cooking and tenderness.
  • Removing seeds from the jalapeno reduces heat without sacrificing flavor.
  • Do not overfill the egg roll wrappers to prevent tearing and leaking during frying.
  • Maintain oil temperature at 350°F to achieve a crispy exterior without absorbing excess oil.
  • Cook egg rolls in batches to avoid overcrowding the frying pot, which can lower oil temperature and result in soggy rolls.
  • Drain egg rolls on paper towels promptly to keep them crispy.
