Ingredients:

Ingredients:

Marinated Beef:

  • 1 lb. eye of round steak, thinly sliced into 1- to 2-inch long strips
  • 1 tablespoon light or dark beer
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning (optional)

Remaining Filling:

  • ½ tablespoon unsalted butter
  • ½ Vidalia onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup pepper jack cheese, shredded

Wrapping:

  • 12 (7-inch) egg roll wrappers
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil (for baking)

Directions:

  • Mix the marinade ingredients and massage them into the beef. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature or overnight in the fridge.
  • Preheat a medium-sized nonstick pan on medium heat. Add butter to melt, then sauté the onions until softened (about 1 minute).
  • Add the marinated beef to the pan and cook until the strips are done (about 4 minutes). Add bell peppers and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Remove from heat and drain excess liquid from the filling using a metal strainer. Let the filling cool for 15 minutes.
  • Assemble each egg roll by spooning 3 tablespoons of the cooled filling onto the corner of an egg roll wrapper closest to you. Roll it up tightly and secure the edges with the beaten egg.
  • Place the completed egg rolls (seam-side down) on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush each roll with vegetable oil.
  • Bake for 15-17 minutes, turning every 5 minutes for even browning. Then, let them sit to cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy!
