Protein
- 8 oz thinly sliced ribeye steak
Vegetables
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
- 1/2 cup diced onions
Dairy
- 4 oz provolone or American cheese, sliced or shredded
Wrapper & Frying
- 8–10 egg roll wrappers
- 2 cups vegetable or canola oil (for frying)
Seasonings
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Prepare the Filling: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil. Season the thinly sliced ribeye steak with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook the steak until just browned, about 2-3 minutes, then remove from skillet and set aside. In the same pan, sauté the diced bell peppers and onions until tender and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Combine the cooked steak and vegetables in a bowl, then fold in the provolone or American cheese while the mixture is still warm.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay one egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the steak and veggie filling near one corner of the wrapper. Fold the corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly toward the opposite corner. Seal the edge with a dab of water to prevent the egg roll from opening during cooking.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches to avoid overcrowding, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg rolls and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve and Enjoy: Allow the egg rolls to cool slightly, then slice each in half diagonally to showcase the filling. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy the satisfying crunch and classic Philly cheesesteak flavors.
Notes
- Use thinly sliced ribeye steak for fast cooking and tender texture.
- Don’t overfill the egg rolls to ensure proper sealing and prevent bursting.
- Keep oil temperature steady at 350°F for even crisping and less greasy egg rolls.
- Pat vegetables dry before mixing to avoid soggy wrappers.
- Seal wrappers well with water or egg wash to prevent them from opening during frying.
