Oh yes! Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls are a fun, crispy twist on the classic Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Here’s a full recipe for making them at home:
Ingredients (Makes about 8 egg rolls)
For the Filling:
- 8 oz ribeye steak or thinly sliced beef (can use sirloin), chopped or shredded
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1 small green bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped (optional)
- 1–1½ cups shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
- 1–2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
For Assembly:
- 8–10 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Optional Dipping Sauce:
- Spicy mayo, ketchup, or cheese sauce
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Filling
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms; sauté 3–4 minutes until soft.
- Add the beef, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and cook until browned.
- Stir in Worcestershire sauce and remove from heat.
- Let the mixture cool slightly, then mix in the shredded cheese.
Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape.
- Place about 2–3 tablespoons of the filling near the bottom corner.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides.
- Roll tightly toward the top corner and seal the edge with a dab of beaten egg.
- Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 3: Fry the Egg Rolls
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry egg rolls in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain on paper towels.
Step 4: Serve
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, like spicy mayo, ranch, or cheese sauce.
Tips & Variations
- For a lighter version, bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway.
- Add pickled jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- Use a mix of provolone and cheddar for extra cheesy goodness.
If you want, I can also make a crispy air-fryer version that’s way less messy but still golden and cheesy.
