Ingredients
  

Vegetables
  • 1 whole green bell pepper, chopped bright, crunchy
  • 0.5 cup onion, chopped sweet when softened
Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound boneless rib-eye steak, sliced or chopped thin slices cook fast
  • 6 slices provolone cheese melty, mild
  • 1.5 tablespoons butter, divided gives rich flavor
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black pepper
  • 12 pieces egg roll wrappers keep them covered to avoid drying
  • Oil for deep frying (vegetable or canola oil recommended)
  • Optional: Ranch dressing for dipping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Melt half the butter (about ¾ tablespoon) in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped green pepper and onion.
  2. Cook the veggies for 3–4 minutes until they soften and the onion turns translucent. Remove to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  3. Melt the remaining butter in the same pan and add the sliced rib-eye. Season with salt and black pepper.
  4. Cook the steak for 3–4 minutes until browned and cooked through; pieces should have little brown edges.
  5. Return the veggies to the pan and toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  6. Unfold egg roll wrappers on a clean surface. In the center of each wrapper, lay half a slice of provolone, then add 2–3 tablespoons of the steak-vegetable filling.
  7. Moisten the edges with water and fold per package directions to seal.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a deep pot until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). Fry 3–4 egg rolls at a time, turning so all sides get golden.
  2. Fry for 3–5 minutes until deeply golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
  3. Serve hot with ranch or your favorite dip.

Notes

Time-saver: Slice steak thin ahead and refrigerate to speed up searing. Keep egg roll wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent tearing. Simple variation: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or chopped parsley for bright heat.
