Instructions

1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño.
2
Sauté the vegetables until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the thinly sliced sirloin steak to the other side.
4
Season the steak with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder.
5
Mix the steak and vegetables together and cook until the steak is fully browned.
6
Stir in the hoisin sauce until everything is well-coated. Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the filling to cool slightly.
7
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface. Spoon a portion of the steak mixture onto the center.
8
Top the filling with a slice of provolone cheese.
9
Fold the egg roll wrapper tightly, tucking in the sides. Use a little water to seal the final edge.
10
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to about 350°F (175°C).
11
Carefully place the egg rolls into the hot oil and fry for about 1 minute per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
12
Remove the egg rolls from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel. Slice in half and serve immediately with chipotle ranch dressing for dipping and a garnish of chopped green onions.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Slice the steak very thin (a partially frozen sirloin is easiest to cut cleanly) and sauté it until just browned—overcooking toughens it since it cooks again during frying.
Make sure the peppers, onions, and steak filling is completely cooled before assembling; warm filling will soften wrappers and cause leaks.
Seal egg roll corners with a wet finger to ensure they stay closed and crisp during frying.
For even cooking, fry at a steady 350–375°F oil temperature; too cool yields greasy, soggy rolls; too hot burns the exterior before the cheese melts.

Substitutions

sirloin → flank steak or ribeye (similar thickness and tenderness)
provolone → American cheese or cheddar (melts more quickly)
jalapeño → banana pepper or omit (for milder flavor)
hoisin sauce → Worcestershire sauce (1 tbsp, adds savory depth)

Storage & make-ahead

Fried egg rolls store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a 375°F oven for 5–7 minutes to restore crispness. Uncooked, frozen rolls keep for up to 3 months.

Equipment

deep pot or dutch oven (for oil frying) · candy/deep-fry thermometer

Common Questions

Can I make these ahead and freeze them?

Yes. Assemble the egg rolls, place on a parchment-lined tray, and freeze unwrapped for 2 hours, then transfer to a freezer bag. Fry from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to cook time.

What cut of steak works best?

Sirloin or ribeye sliced very thin (partially frozen steak is easiest to slice). Avoid tough cuts; the meat cooks briefly, so tenderness matters.

How do I prevent the filling from leaking during frying?

Don't overstuff—use about 2–3 tablespoons per roll. Seal the wrapper corners tightly with water, and ensure the steak and peppers are dry before filling.

Can I bake instead of fry?

Yes. Brush with oil and bake at 400°F for 12–15 minutes until golden and crispy, turning halfway through. Results are lighter but less crispy than frying.
