How to Make Steak Egg and Cheese Egg Rolls Recipe

Step 1: Cook the Steak

Heat the canola oil and butter together over medium heat until shimmering. Add the thinly sliced sirloin steak and cook, stirring occasionally, until it’s beautifully browned—about 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle in the onion powder, garlic salt, and black pepper to infuse the steak with aromatic flavors. Once cooked, remove the steak from the pan and keep it warm by covering it lightly.

Step 2: Scramble the Eggs

Wipe the skillet clean, then pour in the beaten eggs over medium heat. Let the eggs begin setting without stirring for a moment, then gently push them across the pan to create large, soft curds. Sprinkle the kosher salt and keep cooking until there’s no liquid egg left, making sure not to over-stir for tender, fluffy eggs. Remove them from heat and set aside.

Step 3: Assemble the Egg Rolls

Spread out your egg roll wrappers on a clean surface. For each wrapper, layer about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese, followed by 2 tablespoons of the cooked steak, and then 2 tablespoons of scrambled eggs. The key is not to overfill so rolling is neat and sealed.

Step 4: Roll and Seal

Moisten the edges of the wrapper lightly with water. Fold the bottom corner over the filling and roll once. Next, fold the sides inward overlapping the filling, and continue rolling tightly until sealed. Press the edges to secure and repeat until all wraps are filled.

Step 5: Fry Until Crispy

Heat 2 to 3 inches of canola oil in a deep pot to 365°F. Fry egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes each batch. Drain on paper towels and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Garnishes

A sprinkle of fresh chopped green onions or a dusting of smoked paprika adds a bright or smoky note that complements the rich filling perfectly. Don’t forget a side of tangy salsa or a drizzle of hot sauce for that extra zing.

Side Dishes

Pair your egg rolls with a fresh, crisp salad or some roasted potatoes for a fuller meal that balances the indulgence of the fried rolls. They also shine on boards alongside fresh cut veggies or pickled accompaniments.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Leftover egg rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep them chilled and reheat them to maintain their crispy texture.

Freezing

These egg rolls freeze beautifully. Place uncooked, assembled rolls on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. They can be stored frozen for up to one month and cooked straight from the freezer.

Reheating

To reheat, place the egg rolls in a preheated oven or air fryer at 375°F until warmed through and crispy again—usually about 8 to 10 minutes. Avoid microwaving as it softens the crisp exterior too much.

FAQs

Can I use different cuts of steak for this recipe?

Absolutely! While sirloin is tender and flavorful, flank or skirt steak are great alternatives. Just slice thinly and cook quickly over medium-high heat to keep them tender.

Is it necessary to fry the egg rolls or can I bake them instead?

Frying gives you the crispiest texture, but baking works great too. Just brush or spray the rolls with oil and bake at 375°F for 20 to 25 minutes, turning halfway to ensure even crispiness.

Can I make the filling ahead of time?

Yes, you can cook the steak and scramble the eggs ahead and store them separately. Assemble the egg rolls just before cooking to keep the wrappers from getting soggy.

What dipping sauces pair best with Steak Egg and Cheese Egg Rolls Recipe?

Classic salsa, spicy hot sauce, or fragrant garlic chili oil complement the savory filling beautifully. Feel free to experiment with your favorite sauces to find your perfect match.

Can these egg rolls be cooked in an air fryer?

Yes! The air fryer method is fantastic for a lighter option. Spray the rolls with oil and cook at 375°F for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway for a crispy result with less oil.
