Let’s Get Rolling!
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add beef; cook until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add onion and bell pepper. Cook until softened.
- Return beef to skillet; mix with onion and pepper.
- Place an egg roll wrapper flat. Add a provolone slice diagonally.
- Top with a spoonful of the beef mixture.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly, dabbing water on the top corner to seal.
- Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry egg rolls until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove, drain on paper towels.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce (sriracha mayo is amazing!).
Keto/Low-Carb Option
For a keto or low-carb version, skip the wrappers! Use large lettuce leaves to wrap the filling instead, securing with toothpicks. Consider substituting low-carb veggies like mushrooms or zucchini for the onions and peppers.
Pro Tips for Perfect Rolls
- Thinly slice the beef for even cooking.
- Use a non-stick skillet.
- Don’t overfill the wrappers!
- Keep a close eye while frying to prevent burning.
- Get creative! Experiment with different cheeses and toppings.
