Egg Rolls with Philly Cheesesteak Flavor

Ingredients:

For the Filling:

  • ½ lb thinly sliced steak (like ribeye or skirt steak)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese (or a mix)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Egg Rolls:

  • 10 egg roll wrappers
  • Water (for sealing the wrappers)
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil)

Optional Dipping Sauce:

  • Cheese sauce, ranch dressing, or spicy mayo

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the sliced steak and cook until browned (about 2-3 minutes per side). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, sauté the onions and bell peppers until softened (about 4-5 minutes). Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  • Thinly slice or chop the cooked steak, then return it to the skillet with the veggies. Stir to combine. Let it cool slightly before adding cheese.
  • Mix in the shredded cheese so it melts into the filling.

2. Assemble the Egg Rolls:

  • Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond shape).
  • Place 2-3 tablespoons of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
  • Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly while sealing the edges with a dab of water.

3. Fry the Egg Rolls:

  • Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
  • Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Remove and drain on paper towels.

4. Serve:

  • Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce, such as cheese sauce, ranch, or spicy mayo.

Tips:

  • Baking Option: Brush the egg rolls with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Air Fryer Option: Spray with cooking spray and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes.
  • Cheese Alternative: For a gooier texture, use Cheese Whiz instead of shredded cheese.

Enjoy your crispy, cheesy Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls—a guaranteed crowd-pleaser! 🧀🥩✨
