Instructions
1. Begin by prepping your ingredients. Chop the steak into small cubes, and finely slice the green onions. Mince the garlic as well, setting everything aside for easy access.
2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add the chopped steak to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
4. While the steak is cooling, whisk the eggs in a bowl, seasoning with a pinch of salt. Scramble the eggs over medium heat until just set, then mix in the shredded cheese.
5. Once the steak has cooled, combine it with the scrambled egg and cheese mixture. Add the chopped green onions and mix well.
6. Take an egg roll wrapper and place it on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling near the bottom edge.
7. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, tucking it in tightly. Fold the sides inward, then roll it up towards the top corner, sealing the edge with a little water.
8. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling. Keep unused wrappers covered to avoid drying out.
9. In a deep pan, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F. Carefully add a few egg rolls at a time.
10. Fry the egg rolls for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
11. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.
