These Philly cheesesteak egg rolls combine thinly sliced steak, caramelized onions, and melty provolone cheese wrapped in crispy egg roll wrappers for a quick, crowd-pleasing snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces ribeye steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • 1012 egg roll wrappers
  • Vegetable oil or canola oil (for frying)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Optional dipping sauces: ketchup, spicy mayo, horseradish sauce

Instructions

  1. Freeze the ribeye for about 30 minutes to make slicing thin easier. Slice against the grain about 1/8 inch thick.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and green peppers, season lightly with salt, and sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened and caramelized. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Add sliced steak, sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 2–3 minutes until browned but still juicy. Avoid overcooking.
  4. Return cooked onions and peppers to the pan with steak, stir to combine, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Place about 2 tablespoons of filling near the corner closest to you. Top with half a slice of provolone cheese. Fold the corner over the filling, fold in the sides snugly, and roll tightly away from you. Seal the edge with a dab of water.
  6. Pour vegetable oil to a depth of about 2 inches in a pot or fryer. Heat to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Carefully lower 3–4 egg rolls into hot oil without overcrowding. Fry for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp. Remove with tongs and drain on paper towels.
  8. Let cool for a minute or two and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Freeze steak before slicing for easier thin cuts. Pat filling dry if too wet to prevent soggy wrappers. Maintain oil temperature at 350°F to avoid burning or greasy egg rolls. Baking option: bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, flipping halfway, spraying lightly with oil.
