Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls: A Crispy, Cheesy Twist on a Classic
If you love the savory flavors of a Philly cheesesteak but crave something crispy and handheld, Philly cheesesteak egg rolls are your ultimate solution. These golden, crunchy bites combine tender steak, sautéed peppers and onions, and melty cheese all wrapped in a delicate egg roll wrapper. Perfect as an appetizer, snack, or game-day treat, they are surprisingly easy to make at home. Here’s how to do it step by step.
Ingredients
For 8–10 egg rolls, you will need:
For the filling:
- 1/2 pound thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak
- 1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
For the egg rolls:
- 8–10 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Optional dipping sauce:
- Ketchup, spicy mayo, or cheese sauce
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the thinly sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the sliced steak.
- Season the steak with salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and smoked paprika. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the steak is just cooked through.
- Mix the steak and vegetables together and remove the skillet from heat. Let the mixture cool slightly.
- Once cooled, stir in the shredded cheese so it’s evenly distributed.
Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls
- Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond shape).
- Spoon about 2–3 tablespoons of the steak and cheese filling onto the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the two side corners snugly.
- Roll the wrapper tightly toward the top corner. Brush a little beaten egg on the top corner to seal the egg roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
