Why it’s great
They’re crispy, satisfying, and incredibly versatile. You can fry, air-fry, or bake them, and they pair perfectly with simple dipping sauces. They’re also easy to prep ahead of time.
Ingredients
You’ll need thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin), onion, green bell pepper, garlic, salt, black pepper, provolone cheese or American cheese, egg roll wrappers, and oil for frying. Optional additions include mushrooms or a touch of Worcestershire sauce for extra depth.
Kitchen equipment needed
A skillet, cutting board, knife, mixing bowl, egg wash (egg + water), and a deep skillet or fryer for cooking are all you need.
Method
Start by sautéing the onions and peppers until soft, then add the beef and cook quickly until just done. Season lightly and remove from heat. Let the mixture cool slightly before mixing in the cheese.
Place a portion of filling onto an egg roll wrapper, fold tightly, and seal with egg wash. Fry in hot oil until golden and crisp, turning as needed. Drain on paper towels before serving.
Storage
Uncooked egg rolls can be frozen and fried straight from frozen. Cooked egg rolls can be refrigerated for up to two days and reheated in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
FAQ
Provolone gives a classic flavor, while American cheese melts extra creamy. Don’t overfill the wrappers or they may burst while frying. For a lighter option, bake or air-fry until crisp.
Conclusion
Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls are crispy, cheesy, and packed with bold flavor in every bite. Whether served as an appetizer or a main dish, they’re guaranteed to be a hit with anyone who loves comfort food with a twist.
Enjoy !!!
