Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls are a delicious fusion of two popular dishes—Philly cheesesteaks and egg rolls. This creative dish combines the flavors of thinly sliced steak, sautéed onions, and melted cheese, all wrapped in a crispy egg roll wrapper. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound thinly sliced ribeye steak
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 8 slices of provolone cheese, chopped
- Egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: sliced mushrooms
Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the thinly sliced ribeye until browned. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the sliced onions and bell peppers (and mushrooms if using) to the skillet and continue to cook until the vegetables are tender.
- Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls:
- Lay out an egg roll wrapper with one corner pointing towards you.
- Place a spoonful of the steak and vegetable mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
- Sprinkle chopped provolone cheese over the steak mixture.
- Roll and Seal:
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it up tightly, moistening the edge with a little water to seal the egg roll.
- Fry the Egg Rolls:
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place the egg rolls into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Allow the egg rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Optionally, serve with a side of marinara sauce, sriracha mayo, or your favorite dipping sauce.
