Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls Recipe

These Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls are the perfect fusion of classic Philly cheesesteak flavors wrapped in a crispy egg roll shell. Filled with tender beef, melted cheese, and sautéed veggies, these egg rolls make for an irresistible appetizer or lunch option.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ribeye steak or flank steak, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 6 slices provolone cheese or 1 cup shredded mozzarella
• 12 egg roll wrappers
• 1 large egg (beaten, for sealing the wrappers)
• Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Steak:
   • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced steak and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes, and remove from the pan.
2. Sauté Vegetables:
   • In the same skillet, add the diced onions, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until softened. Combine the cooked steak back into the skillet and stir to mix evenly. Remove from heat.
3. Assemble the Egg Rolls:
   • Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Add about 2 tablespoons of the steak mixture and a slice of provolone cheese (or a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella) in the center. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly, sealing the top corner with beaten egg. Repeat with the remaining wrappers.
4. Fry the Egg Rolls:
   • Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain.
5. Serve:
   • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch dressing, or a cheese sauce.

Tips/Variations:

• Dipping Sauce: A creamy horseradish sauce or garlic aioli pairs well with these egg rolls.
