For the Meaty Filling:
- 1 lb ribeye steak thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 large yellow onion thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 8 oz white American cheese or provolone
- Optional: 4 oz mushrooms sliced
For Wrapping:
- 14-16 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg beaten with a splash of water
- Canola or peanut oil for frying
For Dipping Sauce:
- 1/3 cup mayo
- 2 tbsp sriracha
- 1 tbsp honey
- Splash of lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
Prepare the Steak: Freeze steak for 15-20 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
Sear the Steak: Heat skillet over high heat, add 1 tbsp butter, and sear steak in a single layer for 1-2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and half the garlic powder. Remove from pan.
Cook the Veggies: Lower heat to medium, add remaining butter, and sauté onions and bell peppers (and mushrooms if using) until soft, about 6-8 minutes. Season with remaining garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Combine: Return steak to pan and mix well. Let filling cool for 15 minutes.
Make the Sauce: Mix all dipping sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
Assemble the Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape. Place 2-3 tbsp filling just below center, top with cheese, fold the bottom over, tuck in sides, and roll tightly, sealing with egg wash.
Fry: Heat oil to 350°F and fry in batches for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Serve: Let cool for 5 minutes before serving with dipping sauce.
Let the filling cool completely before wrapping to avoid soggy egg rolls.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat in an oven or air fryer at 375°F for crispy results.
Freeze before or after frying for later use.
