French Dip Egg Rolls
These delicious Egg Rolls are quick and full of flavor!
These French Dip Egg Rolls are such a delicious appetizer or quick meal. Roast beef, provolone cheese, and caramelized onions get fried up in perfectly crispy golden egg rolls and then get dipped in an easy au jus.
There is nothing I love more than an easy appetizer, especially one you can also make into a quick lunch or dinner and these little french dip appetizers are amazing!
These are a hit with kids and adults, everyone loves them because they are delicious and no one can eat just one.
These of course are great for a party but I really enjoy making them for a delicious and quick dinner. I know egg rolls don’t always sound like they will be fast and easy but I promise this is a really quick recipe and once you make them the first time you will be making them again and again!
I use deli sliced roast beef, provolone cheese and caramelized onions. This gets rolled up into an egg roll wrapper and then quickly fried until golden brown and crispy.
I love that you can customize these how you like. You can leave out the onions or even add bell peppers. Switch up the cheese and add your favorite, pepperjack cheese would be fabulous in this. I use deli sliced roast beef but it is also a great way to use up leftover roast beef from dinner.
These can also be made in the air fryer if you don’t feel like pan frying the egg rolls.
These are always a hit whether you make them for a party or just a quick dinner. You just whip up a quick au jus for dipping.
So next time you are looking for a flavorful quick appetizer or dinner just make a batch of these French Dip Egg Rolls. I promise everyone will love them.
You can easily double this recipe to make for a party, you might even want to triple it because they are such a hit!
I just love these egg rolls because they are so quick, easy and delicious.

You can! This is a fabulous way to use up leftover roast beef.

Sure you can! Swiss, mozzarella, cheddar and even pepperjack are all delicious in this.

A quick au jus for dipping is perfect, but you can also serve this with a little horseradish sauce for dipping or a spicy mustard, even a honey mustard.
How can I air fry these?

Ingredients
- Caramelized Onions – The best way to caramelize onions is to just thinly slice or chop them and sautee them in a pan with a bit of butter until they are golden brown.
- Egg Roll Wrappers – I find these in the produce section of the grocery store.
- Roast Beef – I use deli sliced roast beef but you can use the prepackaged kind of even leftover roast beef.
- Provolone – Provolone is most commonly used in french dip sandwiches but you can switch it out to your favorite cheese.
- Vegetable oil – I prefer to fry with vegetable oil but feel free to use canola or peanut oil for frying if you prefer.
- Minced Onion – Dried, minced onion adds a great flavor to the au jus.
- Garlic Powder – This also is to the flavor the au jus.
- Beef Broth – I like to use the low sodium version as the base to the au jus.
- Worcestershire Sauce – This adds a rich savoriness to the au jus for dipping.
