INSTRUCTIONS
- Prepare the Filling:
- Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms (if using) and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Push the vegetables to one side of the pan, then add the sliced beef. Cook until browned and fully cooked through.
- Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix the beef and vegetables together.
- Remove from heat, drain any excess liquid, and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Once cool, mix in the shredded provolone cheese.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls:
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing toward you (diamond shape).
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, rolling tightly to seal. Brush the edges with beaten egg to secure.
- Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Cook the Egg Rolls:
- Frying: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- Baking: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place egg rolls on a greased baking sheet, brush with a little oil, and bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Air Frying: Lightly spray the egg rolls with cooking spray and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Prepare the Dipping Sauce (optional):
- Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl. Adjust seasonings to taste.
- Serve:
- Serve the egg rolls hot with the dipping sauce on the side
-
- Make-Ahead: You can assemble the egg rolls ahead of time and freeze them. Fry directly from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time.
- Cheese Options: Experiment with other cheeses like American, Swiss, or even a queso blend for a twist.
- Vegetarian Option:Substitute the beef with sautéed mushrooms and add more veggies for a delicious veggie-filled version.
