Instructions
1-Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients Begin by mincing the onion and garlic, shredding the cheese, and whisking 1 large beaten egg. Organize everything on your counter to make the process flow easily. This setup, often called mise en place, helps avoid any last-minute rushes and ensures your flavors blend just right.
2-Step 2: Cook the Filling Heat avocado oil or vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the minced yellow onion and minced fresh garlic. Cook them until theyβre soft and translucent, which takes a few minutes. For more inspiration on egg roll techniques, you might enjoy this guide to other tasty egg roll ideas.
3-Step 3: Brown the Meat Increase the heat to medium-high and add 1 pound grass-fed ground beef, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Stir until itβs no longer pink and any extra moisture evaporates, which helps keep your eggrolls from getting soggy. Once done, mix in the ketchup, coconut aminos or low-sodium soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce, then remove from heat and stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
4-Step 4: Assemble the Eggrolls Lay an egg roll wrapper flat like a diamond and add about 3 tablespoons of filling on the bottom half. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and seal the edge with the beaten egg or water before rolling it up tight. Repeat this for all the wrappers to make around 20 eggrolls.
5-Step 5: Choose Your Cooking Method After cooking, mix up the dipping sauce with light mayonnaise, pickle relish, ketchup, yellow mustard, lemon juice or white vinegar, onion powder, and paprika. Serve it alongside your eggrolls for the perfect finish. This whole process takes about 50 minutes total, with 20 minutes prep and 30 minutes cooking.
