In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add one tablespoon of olive oil. Once the olive oil is hot, add the thinly sliced sirloin steak. Cook the sirloin steak until well browned on each side, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the steak and set aside.

Prepare the egg wash by whisking together the egg and water.

Place an egg roll wrapper with the pointed side facing you, like a diamond. Have the remaining egg roll wrappers covered with a damp towel to keep them from drying out. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of shredded cheese in the lower third of the wrapper.

Fill a heavy bottomed pot with 4-5 inches of oil. Heat over medium-high heat until 350°F. Line a sheet pan with a wire rack. While the oil comes to heat, prepare the provolone sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, add the butter. Once the butter melts, add the flour and whisk together until a paste forms and the mixture smells nutty, about 1-2 minutes.

Once the oil is hot, fry the egg rolls in batches until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Be sure to turn them occasionally so they fry evenly. Drain the egg rolls on the prepared wire rack.
