Ingredients

  • You can get egg roll wrappers in the same aisle as the prepackaged fruits and vegetables
  • Shaved Vienna beef, 1 pound
  • A single medium jar of giardiniera
  • Two cups of mozzarella cheese
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  • If you purchase both the au jus and the Italian beef from the deli, you should cook the beef in the au jus first, let it cool, and then start the preparation.
  • You may start cooking them right away if you get Italian beef that is already in a tub with au jus.
  • Cut the Italian beef into bite-sized pieces while working in batches. Giardiniera should then be chopped before they are combined. When everything has been chopped, place it in a bowl and set it aside.
  • Egg roll wrappers should be opened and loosely covered with a wet paper towel. Start with one at a time; it can take a few to perfect the quantity and the roll. Do not lose heart.
  • A tablespoon of the meat and pepper filling should be placed in the center and lightly spread virtually from corner to corner after being brushed with water on all edges and corners. Then sprinkle roughly 1 teaspoon of mozzarella cheese on top.
  • The two side corners should be tucked in and meet in the middle. The egg will then start to roll over and down like a tortilla, tightly but not so tightly that it will break. Verify that the end is secured and that there are no holes. If necessary, add a little extra water.
  • Either prepare them all at once or prepare them in batches and cook them as you go. Before frying, check if the oil is 350 degrees by frying a piece of bread. They should be crisp, not squishy. They will become mushy if the oil is not heated sufficiently. Verify that your oil is not smoking, as this indicates that it is too hot. If you have a thermometer, use it to reach 350 degrees.
  • They will need to fry for 8 to 10 minutes, and you should flip them if one side becomes too brown. Remove to a baking sheet lined with paper towels once golden and crispy, then either serve or quickly freeze. ENJOY!
