Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls

Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls are crispy, golden egg rolls stuffed with tender steak, sautéed peppers and onions, and melted cheese. Perfect as an appetizer or party snack.

Ingredients (makes ~8 egg rolls)

• 1/2 lb (225 g) thinly sliced steak (ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak)

• 1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced

• 1 small onion, thinly sliced

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove garlic, minced

• 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese

• 8 egg roll wrappers

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking filling)

• Oil for frying (canola or vegetable)

• Optional: ketchup, hot sauce, or cheese sauce for dipping

Directions

Step 1: Cook the Filling

1. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

2. Add sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.

3. Add the sliced steak, salt, pepper, and garlic. Cook for 3–5 minutes until the steak is cooked through and no longer pink.

4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

5. Stir in shredded cheese while the mixture is still warm so it melts slightly.

Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls

1. Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing toward you (diamond shape).

2. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of the filling onto the bottom third of the wrapper.

3. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides.

4. Roll tightly toward the top corner and seal the edge with a little water. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 3: Fry the Egg Rolls

Option 1: Deep Frying

1. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 350°F (175°C).

2. Fry egg rolls in batches for 3–5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.

3. Drain on paper towels.

Option 2: Oven-Baking (Healthier Option)

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Brush egg rolls lightly with oil and bake for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crisp.

Step 4: Serve

1. Serve warm with ketchup, hot sauce, or cheese sauce for dipping.

These egg rolls are crispy on the outside, cheesy and savory on the inside, and make a perfect appetizer, snack, or game-day treat.

I can also provide a version with a caramelized onion and mushroom filling to make it extra close to classic Philly Cheesesteak flavor.
