Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls

Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls are a fun and tasty twist on the classic Philly cheesesteak sandwich. They feature the traditional flavors of thinly sliced steak, melted cheese, and sautéed onions, all wrapped in a crispy egg roll wrapper. Here’s a simple recipe to make them at home:

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak (thinly sliced)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 cups shredded provolone cheese (or American cheese, if preferred)
• 12 egg roll wrappers
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions:

1. Cook the steak:

   • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Add the thinly sliced steak and season with salt and pepper.
   • Cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the steak is browned and cooked through.
   • Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.

2. Cook the veggies:

   • In the same skillet, add the sliced onion (and bell pepper, if using) and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened.
   • Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Combine the steak and veggies:

   • Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the onions and peppers.
   • Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes to combine the flavors.

4. Assemble the egg rolls:

   • Lay one egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface, with one corner pointing towards you (like a diamond shape).
   • Spoon a few tablespoons of the steak and veggie mixture into the center of the wrapper.
   • Top with a generous amount of shredded cheese.
   • Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly towards the top corner.
   • Wet the top corner with a little water to seal the egg roll.

5. Fry the egg rolls:

   • Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to about 350°F (175°C).
   • Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
   • Remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain.

6. Serve:

   • Serve the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls hot with dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, or a spicy mayo.

Enjoy your crispy, cheesy, and savory Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls!
