Ingredients

For the Egg Rolls:

  • 1 pound thinly sliced beef (sirloin or flank steak)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • 1 package egg roll wrappers
  • Oil for frying

For the Creamy Garlic Dipping Sauce:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

  1. Cook the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned.
  2. Add Vegetables: Stir in the chopped onion and green bell pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
  3. Melt the Cheese: Remove the pan from heat and stir in shredded provolone cheese, mixing until melted and combined. Let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls

  1. Prepare Wrappers: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you (diamond shape).
  2. Add Filling: Place about 2 tablespoons of the beef and cheese mixture in the center of the wrapper.
  3. Roll Tightly:
    • Fold the bottom corner over the filling.
    • Fold in the side corners and roll tightly.
    • Use a little water on the edges to help seal the roll.
  4. Repeat: Continue assembling until all wrappers are filled.

Step 3: Fry the Egg Rolls

  1. Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Fry in Batches: Add egg rolls in small batches, frying for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Drain on Paper Towels: Remove and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Step 4: Make the Creamy Garlic Dipping Sauce

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  2. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!

  1. Serve Hot: Arrange the crispy egg rolls on a platter.
  2. Dip & Enjoy: Serve with the creamy garlic dipping sauce on the side.

Cooking Notes

  • Want Extra Flavor? Add Worcestershire sauce or hot sauce to the beef mixture.
  • Air Fryer Option: Brush egg rolls with oil and air fry at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Baking Method: Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway for even crispiness.

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with Fries: Serve with crispy fries or onion rings for a classic Philly feel.
  • Add Cheese Sauce: Dip in cheese sauce or honey mustard for extra indulgence.
  • Make it a Meal: Serve alongside a fresh green salad or coleslaw.

Tips

  1. Use High-Quality Cheese: Provolone melts beautifully, but you can also try white American cheese or cheddar.
  2. Keep the Wrappers Moist: Cover unused egg roll wrappers with a damp towel to prevent drying.
  3. Storage & Reheating:
    • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
    • Reheat in an air fryer or oven at 375°F for 5-7 minutes to retain crispiness.
