📋 Ingredients:
- 🥩 1 lb thinly sliced ribeye steak (or ground beef)
- 🧅 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 🫑 1 small green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 🧄 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 🧂 1 tsp salt
- 🌶️ 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 🌶️ 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- 🧀 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
- 🥚 1 large egg (for egg wash)
- 🥢 12-16 eggroll wrappers
- 🛢️ Vegetable oil, for frying
- 🌿 Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish
📝 Directions:
1. Prepare the Filling:
- 🥩 Cook the Steak: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the thinly sliced ribeye steak until browned and cooked through. If using ground beef, cook until fully browned, breaking it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- 🧅 Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a little oil if needed and sauté the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic until the vegetables are soft and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- 🌶️ Season and Combine: Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the vegetables. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika (if using). Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Stir in the shredded cheese until well combined.
2. Assemble the Eggrolls:
- 🥚 Prepare the Egg Wash: In a small bowl, beat the egg with a tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
- 🥢 Fill the Eggrolls: Lay an eggroll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you, like a diamond. Place 2-3 tablespoons of the cheesesteak filling in the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll the wrapper tightly away from you. Brush the top corner with the egg wash and seal the eggroll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
3. Fry the Eggrolls:
- 🛢️ Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 🥢 Fry the Eggrolls: Carefully place a few eggrolls in the hot oil, seam side down. Fry them for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove the eggrolls with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
4. Serve:
- 🍽️ Serve Hot: Serve the cheesesteak eggrolls hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired. They pair well with dipping sauces like ranch, spicy mayo, or cheese sauce.
