Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ white onion diced
- 1 green bell pepper seeds removed, diced
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 lb beef eye round steak thin diced
- Pinch salt and pepper
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese finely shredded
- 8 egg roll wraps
Instructions
- In a saucepan over med-high, add oil.
- Add to your hot saucepan or bell pepper and onions. Sauté for 3 to 5 minutes until softened.
- Add in minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, steak, salt, and pepper. Sauté and cook until your meat is browned. Drain juice for an au jus. Set aside
- Layout the egg roll wrapper in the position of a diamond.
- Place 2 to 3 spoonsful of meat in the center of the wrapper.
- Add 2 tablespoon of your shredded cheese
- Lightly wet the edge of the wrapper with water. I like using a sponge brush. Makes it super-efficient!
- Fold left and right corners into the center.
- Fold the bottom corner and roll the egg rolls shut, squeezing the air out as you roll.
- Lightly wet the exposed corner to seal it down.
- Spray the air fryer basket with oil and place the egg rolls in the basket. Spray rolls with oil.
- Cook for 8 minutes at 380°F, flipping halfway. Cook until egg rolls are crispy and golden brown on all sides.
- Let cool for 5-10 minutes before you eat.
Notes
Choosing the Right Meat: Ribeye: Known for its marbling, ribeye brings a rich, buttery flavor that melts in your mouth. Sirloin: Slightly leaner, sirloin offers a robust flavor without being overly greasy.
Both have their own pros —go with ribeye for indulgence or sirloin for a balanced bite. Whatever you choose, slice it thin for even cooking and that classic Philly feel.
Avoiding Soggy Egg Rolls: After cooking the filling, let it sit in a colander to drain off any extra juices. This step ensures you’re not wrapping up a waterlogged filling. Also, use a HOT Air Fryer. Starting with a hot fryer helps seal the wrappers quickly, preventing too much steam from building up inside.
Don’t Overstuff: It can be tempting to load them up with all that delicious filling, but less is more here.
