(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. In a large pan over medium heat, melt half of the butter. Add the chopped green bell pepper and onion, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside, keeping them covered to retain heat.​

2. Melt the remaining butter in the same pan. Add the sliced rib-eye steak, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the steak is browned and cooked through.​

3. Return the cooked vegetables to the pan with the steak, mixing well to combine.​

4. Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Place half a slice of provolone cheese in the center, then add 2-3 tablespoons of the steak and vegetable mixture on top of the cheese.​

5. Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll it up tightly, sealing the edges with a dab of water. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.​

6. Heat oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches, 3-4 at a time, turning as needed, for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.​

7. Remove the egg rolls from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with ranch dressing or your preferred dipping sauce.​
