- 1 small red bell pepper, finely diced (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

- 6 slices provolone cheese (or 1 cup shredded cheese of choice)
For the Egg Rolls:
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)

For the Dipping Sauce (Optional):
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon horseradish (optional, for a kick)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
1. Prepare the filling:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add diced onions and bell peppers; cook for 3-4 minutes until soft.
- Add the thinly sliced steak and cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes.
- Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Remove from heat and stir in the cheese until melted and combined. Let cool slightly.
2. Assemble the egg rolls:
- Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond).
- Add 2-3 tablespoons of the steak mixture near the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides.
- Brush the top corner with beaten egg and roll tightly to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
3. Fry the egg rolls:
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry egg rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
4. Make the dipping sauce (optional):
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
5. Serve:
- Serve the egg rolls hot with your dipping sauce of choice!
Notes
- For a baked version, brush the egg rolls with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Add mushrooms for extra flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days—reheat in the oven or air fryer for crispiness.
