Meanwhile, pick out the collard green leaves and wash well under cold water. Set aside to dry. Use a paring knife and carefully shave the middle stem. Just take off enough so the stem feels flat, be careful not to break the leaf. Cut off the skinny end of the leaf.

To form the rolls: Lay a large leaf on a flat surface. Place 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoon of beef mixture in the center of the leaf and wrap the leaf as you would wrap a burrito. Use a toothpick to seal. If using small leaves, you don't have to fold the sides over, just make sure the fillings are in the center and not overflowing.

To fry the collar greens rolls: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add in the rolls and fry for about 2 minutes, turning rolls a few times to prevent the rolls from burning. After 2 minutes, add in 2 tablespoons of water. Be careful because the oil will splatter. Continue frying the rolls, turning occasionally until beef is cooked, about 5 minutes.
