Steak and Vegetables
- 8 oz ribeye or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil (for sautéing and frying)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Assembly
- 8–10 egg roll wrappers
- 4–6 slices provolone cheese
- Water (for sealing wrappers)
- Prepare the Steak and Vegetables: Thinly slice the steak into small, bite-sized pieces. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and cook until just browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed, then sauté the diced onions and green peppers until softened and slightly caramelized.
- Combine the Filling: In a bowl, mix the cooked steak and sautéed vegetables together. Add Worcestershire sauce to boost the umami flavor. Let the mixture cool slightly to prevent the egg roll wrappers from becoming soggy during assembly.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Spoon a few tablespoons of the steak and vegetable mixture in the center. Place a slice or small handful of provolone cheese on top. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly toward the top corner. Seal the edges with a little water to keep the roll intact.
- Fry Until Golden and Crispy: Heat enough oil in a deep skillet or fryer to fully submerge the egg rolls, maintaining about 350°F. Fry the egg rolls in batches for 3 to 4 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Serve Warm and Enjoy: Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or spicy aioli for an added flavor boost.
Notes

- Use water to seal the wrappers tightly for secure frying.
- Maintain oil temperature around 350°F for even, crispy frying without greasiness.
- Drain fried egg rolls on paper towels to keep them crisp.
