Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Philly Cheesesteak Filling
- Sauté the Vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and bell peppers, cooking until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Cook the Steak: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and cook the sliced steak over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Mix the Cheese: Remove the skillet from the heat and add the cream cheese and shredded provolone. Stir until the cheese melts and the mixture becomes creamy. Add Worcestershire sauce if desired for extra flavor.
- Cool the Filling: Let the mixture cool slightly before using it to fill the egg rolls.
Step 2: Roll the Egg Rolls
- Prepare the Egg Roll Wrappers: Lay one egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface with one corner facing you.
- Add the Filling: Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the cheesesteak filling near the center of the wrapper.
- Roll It Up: Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly, sealing the edge with a little water. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 3: Fry or Bake the Egg Rolls
Frying Method:
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully add the egg rolls in batches, frying for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Baking Method:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the egg rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Lightly spray or brush them with oil, then bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Tips for Perfect Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls
✔ Use Thinly Sliced Beef: For the best texture, use thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin. Freeze the meat for 30 minutes before slicing to make it easier to cut.
✔ Don’t Overstuff: Be careful not to overstuff the egg rolls, as this can make them harder to seal and cook evenly.
✔ Serve Immediately: Egg rolls are best enjoyed fresh and crispy. If you need to make them ahead, store them in an airtight container and reheat them in the oven to keep them crispy.
