Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) ribeye steak, thinly sliced
- 6 slices provolone cheese
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1 small green bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1 egg, beaten
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp horseradish
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Meat Preparation: Sear thinly sliced steak in olive oil over medium-high heat until caramelized, seasoning with garlic powder, salt, and pepper for 3-4 minutes.
- Vegetable Sautéing: In the same skillet, cook onions and bell peppers until tender and slightly caramelized, creating a flavorful base.
- Flavor Fusion: Combine cooked steak with sautéed vegetables, allowing the mixture to cool and meld flavors thoroughly.
- Wrapper Assembly: Position egg roll wrapper diagonally, strategically place steak-vegetable mixture and provolone cheese near the bottom corner.
- Rolling Technique: Fold bottom corner over filling, tuck side edges inward, brush top edge with beaten egg, and roll tightly to create a compact parcel.
- Deep Frying: Heat vegetable oil to 350F, carefully fry egg rolls in batches until achieving a crisp, golden-brown exterior.
- Serving Presentation: Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil, then serve immediately with complementary dipping sauces like cheese sauce or ranch dressing.
Notes
- Optimize Meat Searing: Use high-heat cooking and avoid overcrowding the skillet to achieve perfect caramelization and prevent steaming the meat.
- Control Wrapper Technique: Seal egg rolls tightly to prevent oil seepage during frying, ensuring a crisp and leak-free exterior.
- Manage Oil Temperature: Maintain consistent 350F oil temperature for even golden-brown coloring and crispy texture without greasy absorption.
- Alternative Dietary Adaptations: Substitute steak with plant-based protein or chicken for varied dietary preferences, and use gluten-free wrappers for wheat-sensitive individuals.
