Instructions
Prepare the Filling:
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat Add the sliced onions and bell pepper and sauté for about 5 minutes or until softened.
Add the sliced beef to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the beef is browned and cooked through (about 4-5 minutes). Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly Once cooled, stir in the shredded mozzarella (or provolone) cheese, mixing until the cheese is evenly distributed.
Assemble the Egg Rolls:
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface, positioning it in a diamond shape with one corner pointing towards you.
Place 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll up tightly, sealing the top corner with a dab of water to secure it Repeat this process until all the filling is used and the egg rolls are assembled.
Fry the Egg Rolls:
In a deep skillet or pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add a few egg rolls at a time into the hot oil, frying for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve:
Allow the egg rolls to cool slightly before serving. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, like marinara, ranch, or a spicy mayo Tips for Making Perfect Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls
Choose the Right Meat: Ribeye is ideal for Philly cheesesteak because it’s tender and flavorful. If ribeye is unavailable, any thinly sliced beef will work.
Keep the Oil at the Right Temperature: Maintaining a steady oil temperature (350°F) is key for even cooking. If the oil is too hot, the egg rolls may brown too quickly; if it’s too cool, they may absorb too much oil and become greasy.
Seal the Egg Rolls Well: Make sure to use water to seal the edges of the egg rolls This helps keep the filling from spilling out during frying.
Don’t Overfill: Adding too much filling makes it harder to roll the egg rolls and increases the chance they might burst during frying.
Bake Instead of Frying (Optional): For a healthier option, bake the egg rolls in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden, turning them halfway through.
