Description
Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls combine the classic flavors of a Philly cheesesteak sandwich with the crispy, golden-brown texture of a fried egg roll. Filled with tender ribeye steak, sautéed bell peppers and onions, and melted provolone cheese, these egg rolls make a perfect appetizer or snack served with ranch dipping sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 1 pound boneless ribeye steak, sliced or coarsely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 slices provolone cheese
Assembly
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- Water (for sealing edges)
For Frying
- Oil for frying (enough to deep fry at 350°F)
Optional
- Ranch dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped green bell pepper and onion, cooking until they soften. Remove the cooked vegetables from the pan and set aside.
- Cook the Steak: In the same pan, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced or coarsely chopped ribeye steak, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through.
- Combine Filling: Return the cooked bell peppers and onions to the pan with the cooked steak, stirring well to combine the ingredients evenly.
- Assemble Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place half a slice of provolone cheese in the center, then add 2-3 tablespoons of the steak mixture on top of the cheese. Fold and seal the edges of the wrapper using a bit of water to ensure the egg roll is securely closed.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Heat oil to 350°F in a deep pan or fryer. Fry the egg rolls in batches for 3-5 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Bake Option (Alternative Cooking Method): Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly coat the assembled egg rolls with cooking spray and bake on a baking sheet for 15-20 minutes until they become crispy. This is a healthier alternative to deep frying.
Notes
- Use ribeye steak for the best tenderness and flavor, but other rib cuts can be used as a substitute.
- Ensure the egg roll wrappers are sealed tightly to prevent filling from leaking during frying or baking.
- For a low-fat option, opt for baking the egg rolls instead of frying.
- Serve with ranch or your favorite dipping sauce for enhanced flavor.
- Leftover filling can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
