Step-by-Step Guide to Making Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls
1. Prepare the Filling
- Start by heating a little oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef steak and cook until browned and just cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the steak so it stays tender.
- Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, add a bit more oil and sauté onions, bell peppers, and garlic until softened and caramelized. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked steak back into the skillet with the vegetables and stir to combine. Drizzle a small amount of soy sauce over the mixture for added flavor, and mix well. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Tear or chop the cheese into small pieces and fold it into the steak and vegetable mixture. The heat from the filling will begin to melt the cheese, making everything gooey and delicious.
2. Assemble the Egg Rolls
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner facing you (so it looks like a diamond shape).
- Spoon a generous amount of the Philly cheesesteak mixture into the center of the wrapper, making sure not to overfill it.
- Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the two sides. Roll it up tightly, making sure the egg roll is sealed well. You can use a little water to seal the edges if needed.
3. Fry the Egg Rolls
- Heat enough oil in a deep pan or fryer to submerge the egg rolls, about 350°F (175°C). If you don’t have a deep fryer, you can also use a large skillet with about an inch of oil.
- Carefully add the egg rolls to the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Be sure to turn them halfway through to ensure they cook evenly on all sides.
- Remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
4. Serve and Enjoy
- Serve these Philly cheesesteak egg rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauce. A classic ranch dressing, buffalo sauce, or cheese sauce are perfect for dipping. If you like a little extra zing, try adding a bit of hot sauce or BBQ sauce on the side.
- These egg rolls are perfect for sharing, but we won’t blame you if you want to keep them all to yourself!
