Ingredients

For the Beef Filling:
– 1 pound ground beef
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– Salt and pepper to taste

For the Egg Rolls:
– 12 egg roll wrappers
– 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
– Oil for frying

For the Dipping Sauce:
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

Directions

1. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until fully browned. Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onions are tender. Remove from heat and let the beef mixture cool.
2. Lay out an egg roll wrapper, with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the beef filling onto the lower third of the wrapper. Roll the wrapper tightly over the filling, tucking in the sides as you roll. Brush the top corner with the beaten egg to seal the egg roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
3. In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the oil to 375°F (190°C). Carefully place the egg rolls into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
4. For the dipping sauce, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and freshly grated ginger in a small bowl. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved.
5. Serve the beef egg rolls hot with the dipping sauce on the side and enjoy!
