Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need
- Large skillet
- Tongs
- Paper towels
- Knife for slicing
- Clean surface for rolling
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 bell peppers, thinly sliced
- kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 lb. sirloin steak
- 1 tsp. oregano
- 12 slices provolone
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 2/3 cup plus 2 tsp. vegetable oil
- Ketchup, for serving, if desired
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and peppers, season with salt and pepper, and cook until tender, about 7 to 10 minutes.
- Push vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add 2 tsp. vegetable oil to the other side, add steak, and season with oregano, salt, and pepper. Sear for 1 minute, then cook through, stirring with tongs, for about 5 minutes. Toss to combine and then set aside.
- Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Add a folded slice of provolone and a generous spoonful of the steak mixture to the center. Fold up the bottom half, tightly fold in the sides, roll gently, and seal the fold with a couple of drops of water. Repeat with remaining steak and vegetables.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the remaining vegetable oil (it should be about 1″ deep) until it starts to bubble. Add egg rolls and fry until golden, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool slightly.
- Serve with ketchup, if desired.
Tips for Success
- Make sure to roll your egg rolls tightly to prevent them from falling apart while frying.
- Use a thermometer to ensure your oil is at the right temperature for frying.
Additional Tips and Variations
- Try adding mushrooms to the vegetable mix for extra flavor.
- Experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella or American for a twist.
