Italian Beef Egg Rolls

Ingredients:

• 32 oz Marconi Premium Blend Cooking Oil
• 1 package Spring Roll Skins
• 1/2 Pound your favorite sliced and seasoned Italian Beef
• 1 Jar Marconi Giardiniera. (Any Heat Level you prefer)
• 8 oz Shredded Cheese * (We use mozzarella, but whatever you like works even if you want to skip the cheese all together)
• 1 Cup Chopped Spinach and Broccoli Straws
• 1 Cup Beef Juice/Drippings/Gravy

What to do:

In a small Sauce Pan, heat oil to a temperature of between 350-375 Degrees. *

Monitor oil temperature at all times, and do not leave unattended.

While oil heats up, prep your spring skins. We use a rice-based store-bought skin for this application. Before filling, these need to be soaked in water to hydrate for rolling. We actually soaked them in the beef drippings/juice to hydrate. They only need to rest in the liquid for a few seconds, enough to work with and roll.

Once hydrated, take your skin out of the liquid and lay flat on a dry surface.

On the far side of one of the skins, place a piece of Beef, your vegetable mix and cheese, and a nice teaspoon of Giardiniera. What you are going for is enough filling to get an even bite. Roll tightly the shell around the filling in a shape of an eggroll.

Place on a paper towel to allow to dry for a few minutes.

Once dry, drop the eggroll in your frying pot with a long set of metal tongs and let fry for 1- 2 minutes or until it becomes a nice golden brown.

Set each out on a drying rack or another paper towel to dry for another 2-3 minutes and enjoy while still hot!

Here are some safety points to keep in mind when deep-frying at home:

Deep-fried foods are a tradition in many families, and when done properly, there’s very little danger involved.

Follow the tips below to ensure safety while deep frying at home:

• If using a pot to deep fry, make sure to have the following equipment ready: metal tongs, thermometer with pot clip, a large, heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid; baking soda or all-purpose flour
• If using a purchased deep fryer, read the manufacturer’s instructions carefully
• Never leave a deep fryer unattended
• Use a thermometer to regulate oil temperature properly
• Don’t overfill a fryer or pot with oil; foods will displace oil and may cause spillage
• Wear long-sleeves while frying in case of splatter
• If frying a turkey or other large foods, it’s best to deep fry outside
• Foods dropped into hot oil should be dry(ish) and free of excess water, marinades, etc.
• Always allow oil to fully cool before handling or discarding

In case of fire:

• Do not use water to put out the fire
• Do not attempt to move the pan, pot, or fryer
• Cover pot or pan with a heavy lid
• Douse fire with baking soda or all-purpose flour to smother flames
• Do not attempt to fight the fire if it spreads
• Call 911
