How to Make Cheesesteak-Style Egg Rolls

Step 1 – Cook Steak and Vegetables:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season steak strips generously with Montreal steak seasoning and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove steak. In the same skillet, sauté onions and green peppers until soft and caramelized. Combine with cooked steak.

Step 2 – Assemble Egg Rolls:

• Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner pointing toward you.
• Place a slice of provolone in the center.
• Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of the steak-vegetable mixture over the cheese.
• Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the left and right sides.
• Roll tightly toward the top corner, sealing with beaten egg. Repeat with remaining wrappers.

Step 3 – Fry Egg Rolls:
Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy (3–4 minutes per batch). Do not overcrowd. Drain on paper towels.

Step 4 – Serve:
Serve hot with dipping sauces such as ranch, spicy mayo, or marinara.
