Ready to impress your guests with a deliciously crispy, cheesy, and hearty treat? Here’s everything you need to make these irresistible ribeye steak egg rolls.
Ingredients:
For the Filling:
- 1 pound ribeye steak (thinly sliced): The star of the show. Ribeye gives the filling its rich, juicy flavor that’s hard to beat. Thinly slicing ensures each bite is packed with tenderness.
- 1/2 cup chopped onion: Adds a subtle sweetness and depth of flavor that balances the richness of the steak.
- 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper: Provides a fresh, slightly bitter crunch that contrasts beautifully with the steak.
- 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper: Sweet, vibrant, and adds a pop of color to the filling.
- 1/4 cup chopped mushrooms: Earthy and savory, mushrooms add another layer of flavor and help with the moisture and texture of the filling.
- 1/4 cup butter: Rich, creamy, and perfect for sautéing the veggies and steak.
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour: This helps thicken the filling, giving it a nice, creamy consistency that holds up in the egg rolls.
- 1 cup beef broth: Infuses the filling with a savory, beefy richness that complements the steak perfectly.
- 1/2 cup grated provolone cheese: Adds a melty, slightly sharp flavor that complements the other cheeses in the filling.
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese: For a gooey, stringy melt that adds richness and a bit of stretch.
- Salt and pepper to taste: Essential for seasoning and bringing all the flavors together.
For the Egg Rolls:
- 1 package egg roll wrappers: The crispy shell that holds all the goodness together. Be sure to use egg roll wrappers, as they’re thicker and more durable for frying.
- 1 egg, beaten: This acts as the perfect adhesive to seal the egg rolls and keep everything in place while frying.
- Vegetable oil for frying: The key to achieving that perfect golden brown, crispy texture. Heat it to the right temperature for a crunchy exterior without greasy oil.
Directions:
Step 1: Prepare the filling
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant. Add the ribeye steak to the skillet, cooking it for another 5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Step 2: Thicken the mixture
Once the steak is browned, sprinkle flour over the mixture and cook for 1 minute. This helps thicken the filling and gives it a nice creamy texture. Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer for 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken.
Step 3: Add the cheeses
Stir in the provolone and mozzarella cheese, allowing them to melt into the filling, creating a cheesy, delicious mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring all the flavors are balanced.
Step 4: Assemble the egg rolls
Place one egg roll wrapper on a flat surface. Spoon a generous amount of the steak and cheese filling into the center. Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, rolling it tightly to seal. Brush the edge of the wrapper with beaten egg to secure the seam and ensure the egg rolls don’t open while frying.
Step 5: Fry the egg rolls
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy. Be sure to turn them occasionally for even cooking. Once cooked, remove them from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Why These Egg Rolls Are Loved:
These ribeye steak egg rolls are beloved for their unbeatable combination of tender steak, melty cheese, and crispy shell. Every bite is a perfect balance of savory, creamy, and crunchy.

Whether you're serving them as a starter or pairing them with your favorite dipping sauce, these egg rolls are sure to be a crowd-pleaser every time.
Pro Tips for Perfection:
- Don’t overfill the egg rolls: While it might be tempting to stuff them with more filling, overfilling can cause the egg rolls to burst open during frying.
- Ensure the oil is at the right temperature: If the oil is too hot, the egg rolls will burn on the outside before the inside cooks. If it’s not hot enough, they’ll soak up too much oil and become greasy.
- Use a dipping sauce: Try pairing these egg rolls with a tangy ranch, creamy blue cheese, or even a sweet chili sauce for extra flavor.
