Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling:
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes. If using, add the bell pepper and continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the thinly sliced steak to the skillet, cooking until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  1. Add the Cheese:
  • Once the meat mixture has cooled, stir in the shredded cheese until well combined.
  1. Assemble the Egg Rolls:
  • Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner facing you. Place about 2 tablespoons of the cheesesteak filling in the center of the wrapper.
  • Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly to seal, using a little water to help the edges stick. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  1. Fry the Egg Rolls:
  • In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium-high heat. Carefully add a few egg rolls at a time, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  1. Serve:
  • Serve the cheesesteak egg rolls hot with your choice of dipping sauce.

Tips for Perfect Cheesesteak Egg Rolls

  • Cutting the Meat: For easier slicing, freeze the steak for about 30 minutes before cutting. It will firm up and make thin slicing much easier.
  • Make It Spicy: If you like heat, consider adding jalapeños to the filling or serving with a spicy dipping sauce.
  • Baking Option: For a healthier version, you can brush the assembled egg rolls with oil and bake them in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through.

Serving Suggestions

Cheesesteak Egg Rolls make a fantastic appetizer, but you can also serve them alongside:

  • French Fries or Sweet Potato Fries: A side of fries is always a hit and complements the egg rolls perfectly.
  • Coleslaw: A fresh coleslaw adds a nice crunch and balances the richness of the egg rolls.
  • Pickles: Serve with dill pickles or pickled vegetables for a tangy contrast.
