Ah, Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls—crispy, cheesy, and packed with tender steak and peppers, perfect as a fun appetizer or snack! 🥩🧅🧀🥢 Here’s a detailed recipe:
Ingredients (Makes about 8–10 egg rolls)
- 1/2 lb thinly sliced steak (ribeye or sirloin works best)
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
- 8–10 egg roll wrappers
- 2–3 tbsp vegetable oil (for sautéing)
- 1–2 cups oil for frying (or spray for air fryer)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, or hot sauce
Instructions
- Cook the steak and veggies:
- Heat 2–3 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sauté onions and peppers for 3–4 minutes until softened.
- Add steak, season with salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder/Worcestershire sauce. Cook 2–3 minutes until just cooked.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Assemble the egg rolls:
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you (diamond shape).
- Place 2–3 tbsp of the steak mixture in the center, then sprinkle with cheese.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal with a little water on the top corner.
- Cook the egg rolls:
Option 1: Frying- Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry egg rolls 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain on paper towels.
Option 2: Air Fryer
- Preheat to 400°F (200°C).
- Spray egg rolls lightly with oil and cook 8–10 minutes, turning halfway, until crispy.
- Serve:
- Serve hot with dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or spicy mayo.
💡 Tips & Tricks:
- Cheese melt factor: Use shredded provolone or mozzarella—they melt evenly.
- Don’t overfill: Overstuffing makes sealing difficult.
- Make ahead: Prepare and wrap ahead of time, then fry or air-fry when ready to serve.
- Extra flavor: Add sautéed mushrooms or a splash of soy sauce for depth.
