How to Make Cheesesteak Eggrolls
Step 1: Cook the Steak and Onions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and sauté them for about 5 minutes, or until they are soft and caramelized.
- Add the sliced steak to the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the steak is browned and fully cooked through.
- Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and remove from heat. If you want a creamier filling, you can mix in some mayonnaise at this point.
Step 2: Assemble the Eggrolls
- Lay one eggroll wrapper on a flat surface, with one corner facing you (like a diamond shape).
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the steak and onion mixture in the center of the wrapper, leaving room on the sides.
- Top the steak mixture with a generous amount of shredded provolone cheese.
- Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll it up tightly, sealing the edges with a little water.
- Repeat this process for the remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 3: Fry the Eggrolls
- In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). The oil should be hot enough to fry the eggrolls until golden and crispy.
- Carefully place the eggrolls into the hot oil in batches, ensuring they don’t overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until the eggrolls are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the eggrolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Allow the eggrolls to cool for a minute or two before serving.
- Serve with a side of marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or even a spicy dipping sauce for an extra burst of flavor!
Tips for Perfect Cheesesteak Eggrolls
- Meat Selection: Ribeye is typically the best choice for its tenderness and rich flavor, but you can use sirloin or flank steak as a more affordable alternative. Just make sure to slice it thinly for the best texture in the eggrolls.
- Cheese Options: Provolone cheese is traditional for a Philly cheesesteak, but you can also use mozzarella, American cheese, or even a combination for a melty, gooey filling.
- Air Fryer Option: If you’re looking for a healthier alternative to frying, you can make these eggrolls in an air fryer! Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C), spray the eggrolls lightly with cooking spray, and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through, until crispy and golden.
- Add Veggies: You can easily customize the filling by adding sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or even spinach for extra flavor and texture.
