- 1 small green bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
Seasonings and Cheese:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 6 slices provolone cheese
Cooking and Wrapping Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 12 egg roll wrappers

Dipping Sauce Ingredients:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon horseradish
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare a spacious skillet with olive oil, heating it to medium-high temperature for optimal meat searing.
- Introduce thinly sliced steak into the hot pan, allowing it to caramelize and develop rich brown edges within 3-4 minutes. Season generously with aromatic garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Transfer cooked steak to a separate plate, maintaining its succulent moisture.
- Utilize the same skillet to sauté onions and bell peppers, creating a tender vegetable medley with slight caramelization.
- Reintegrate the steak into the vegetable mixture, ensuring thorough intermingling of flavors. Allow the combined ingredients to cool slightly.
- Position an egg roll wrapper diagonally on a clean work surface, creating a diamond shape for precise folding.
- Carefully distribute the steak-vegetable blend onto the wrapper, complementing it with a sprinkle of provolone cheese for added richness.
- Execute precise folding techniques: cover filling with bottom corner, tuck side edges inward, and apply beaten egg along the top edge to create a secure seal.
- Systematically roll the wrapper, ensuring a tight and compact presentation. Repeat for remaining ingredients.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy pan to 350F, preparing for crisp transformation.
- Gently submerge egg rolls in hot oil, frying in controlled batches until achieving a golden-brown, crispy exterior.
- Remove egg rolls and drain excess oil on absorbent paper towels.
- Serve immediately alongside complementary dipping sauces like cheese sauce or ranch dressing for an indulgent experience.
Notes
- Slice steak against the grain for maximum tenderness and easier chewing during each bite.
- Use room temperature egg roll wrappers to prevent cracking and ensure smoother rolling process.
- Drain excess moisture from steak and vegetables before filling to maintain crispy wrapper texture.
- Experiment with cheese variations like sharp cheddar or pepper jack for different flavor profiles and personal preferences.
