Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls

Instructions

1. Cook the Steak: Season the thinly sliced steak with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil, and cook the steak for about 3-5 minutes, until just browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside to cool slightly.
2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell peppers. Sauté until they’re soft and slightly caramelized, about 4-5 minutes. Combine the cooked steak and sautéed vegetables in a bowl and let cool slightly.
3. Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond shape). Place a couple of spoonfuls of the steak and vegetable mixture in the center, then sprinkle some shredded cheese on top. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll up tightly. Seal the top corner with a dab of water to ensure it sticks.
4. Fry the Egg Rolls: Heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place a few egg rolls into the hot oil and fry for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5. Serve: Serve these egg rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauce, like a creamy cheese dip, sriracha mayo, or even a zesty marinara.

Tips for Perfect Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls

• Slice Steak Thinly: This helps it cook quickly and makes it easy to bite into once inside the egg roll.
• Don’t Overfill: Be careful not to overfill the wrappers, as it can cause them to burst when frying.
• Experiment with Cheese: Provolone gives an authentic Philly cheesesteak flavor, but mozzarella, Swiss, or even American cheese work well too.

Dipping Sauce Ideas

While these egg rolls are delicious on their own, dipping sauces can elevate the flavor. Try them with:

• Cheese Sauce: Melted provolone or cheddar for extra cheesiness.
• Garlic Aioli: Adds a creamy, garlicky kick.
• Chipotle Mayo: For a smoky, spicy contrast to the savory filling.
