What You Need

Ingredients:

• 8 Egg Roll Wrappers
• 8 slices Provolone Cheese
• 1 pound Steak Strips (sirloin or ribeye work great)
• 1 Green Pepper, diced
• 1 Onion, diced
• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
• 1 large Egg, beaten (for sealing)
• McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning, to taste
• Vegetable Oil, for frying

 

How To Make Cheesesteak-Style Egg Rolls

1. Cook the Steak & Veggies: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak strips and season with Montreal Steak Seasoning. Cook until browned. Remove and set aside. In the same pan, sauté diced onion and pepper until soft and caramelized. Combine with the steak.
2. Assemble: Place a wrapper like a diamond on your surface. Add one slice of provolone, then 2–3 tablespoons of steak filling. Fold the bottom corner over, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly. Brush the top edge with beaten egg to seal.
3. Fry: Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry egg rolls for 3–4 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
4. Serve: Serve warm with ranch, spicy mayo, or marinara.
