Ingredients:

  • 8 Egg Roll wrappers
  • 8 Slices provolone cheese
  • 1 lb. Steak strips, cut into small cubes
  • 1 Green pepper, diced
  • 1 Onion, diced
  • 1 Tbsp. Olive oil
  • 1 Large egg, beaten
  • McCormick Montreal steak seasoning
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Steak and Vegetables:
    • In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced steak strips and cook until browned and cooked through. Season with McCormick Montreal steak seasoning to taste. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
    • In the same skillet, add the diced green pepper and onion. Cook until softened and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Assemble the Egg Rolls:
    • Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place a slice of provolone cheese in the center of the wrapper.
    • Add a spoonful of the cooked steak, followed by a spoonful of the cooked peppers and onions, on top of the cheese.
    • Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll it up tightly, sealing the edges with beaten egg.
  3. Fry the Egg Rolls:
    • In a deep fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the assembled egg rolls to the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
    • Remove the fried egg rolls from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  4. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Serve the Cheesesteak Egg Rolls hot, with your favorite dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy the crispy exterior, gooey melted cheese, and flavorful steak and vegetable filling with every bite!

Cook Notes and Variations:

  • Cheese Options: While provolone cheese adds a classic flavor to these egg rolls, feel free to experiment with other cheese varieties such as cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack for a different taste profile.
  • Vegetarian Version: Omit the steak and add extra diced vegetables such as mushrooms, zucchini, or spinach for a delicious vegetarian alternative.

Keto and Low-Carb Versions:

  • Keto Version: Replace the egg roll wrappers with low-carb tortillas or cabbage leaves for a keto-friendly option. Use thinly sliced cheese instead of provolone for added flavor.
  • Low-Carb Version: To reduce the carb content, skip the egg roll wrappers altogether and enjoy the steak, cheese, and vegetable filling on its own or wrapped in lettuce leaves.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

  1. Can I Bake the Egg Rolls Instead of Frying?
    • Yes, you can bake the egg rolls in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  2. Can I Freeze the Egg Rolls for Later?
    • Absolutely! Once assembled, you can freeze the uncooked egg rolls on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. When ready to cook, fry or bake them directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
  3. What Dipping Sauce Goes Best with Cheesesteak Egg Rolls?
    • Popular dipping sauce options include sriracha mayo, sweet chili sauce, or a classic marinara sauce. Feel free to get creative and experiment with your favorite sauces!
