### **Instructions:**
#### 1. **Prepare the Filling:**
– In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a drizzle of oil.
– Add the **thinly sliced ribeye steak**, **diced bell pepper**, and **diced onion** to the pan.
– Cook, stirring occasionally, until the steak is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about **5-7 minutes**.
– Season the mixture with **salt and pepper** to taste. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
#### 2. **Assemble the Egg Rolls:**
– Lay out an **egg roll wrapper** on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointing towards you (like a diamond).
– Place a slice of **provolone cheese** in the center of the wrapper.
– Spoon a generous amount of the steak and vegetable mixture on top of the cheese.
– Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it up tightly.
– Use a little water to seal the edges if necessary. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
#### 3. **Fry the Egg Rolls:**
– In a deep frying pan or pot, heat about **2 inches of oil** over medium heat until it reaches **350°F (175°C)**.
– Carefully place a few egg rolls in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
– Fry the egg rolls for about **3-4 minutes**, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
– Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
