Instructions:

  1. Prep the Filling:
  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and cook the steak until just browned, seasoning with salt and pepper. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the onions and bell pepper. Sauté until they are soft and caramelized. Combine with the steak and let it cool slightly.
  1. Assemble the Egg Rolls:
  • Lay an egg roll wrapper flat and place a spoonful of the steak mixture in the center. Top with shredded cheese.
  • Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Use a dab of water on the edges to seal the wrapper.
  1. Fry to Perfection:
  • Heat about 1 inch of oil in a skillet to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the egg rolls in the oil and fry until golden brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  1. Serve: Enjoy warm with a dipping sauce like ketchup, ranch, or even a spicy mayo if you like a kick!

Why These Are a Must-Try

These egg rolls have the classic flavors of a Philly cheesesteak but in a portable, crispy form. Each bite is packed with gooey cheese, tender beef, and caramelized veggies – everything you love about a cheesesteak, but in snackable form. Whether you’re hosting friends or craving something new, this recipe is guaranteed to impress.

Tips for Perfect Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls:

  • Make It Spicy: Add a few slices of jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce to the filling if you want a little heat.
  • Cheese Choice: Mozzarella or provolone give that classic Philly flavor, but feel free to experiment with cheese like cheddar for a sharper taste.
  • Bake Instead of Frying: If you prefer a lighter version, brush the egg rolls with a bit of oil and bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway.
