Cheesy Twist: Add mozzarella or pepper jack cheese for a gooey, cheesy center.
Healthier Option: Bake the egg rolls at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Spicy Kick: Add sliced jalapeños to the filling for an extra punch of heat.
Air Fryer Option: Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, spraying with oil to ensure even browning.
Vegetarian Version: Substitute the steak with mushrooms and sautéed onions and peppers for a meatless alternative.
