Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls: Crispy, Cheesy, and Irresistible

Imagine all the savory goodness of a classic Philly cheesesteak—tender beef, sautéed peppers and onions, and melted cheese—wrapped in a crispy, golden egg roll. Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls are a fun, flavorful twist on a beloved sandwich, perfect as an appetizer, snack, or even a main dish. Crunchy on the outside and cheesy on the inside, they’re sure to become a favorite at any table.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin)

• 1 medium bell pepper, thinly sliced

• 1 small onion, thinly sliced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon soy sauce (optional)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 4–6 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese

• 8–10 egg roll wrappers

• Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Beef and Vegetables:
   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the beef until browned. Add onions, bell peppers, and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant. Season with salt, pepper, and soy sauce if using. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2. Assemble the Egg Rolls:
   Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, corner pointing toward you. Place a small portion of the beef and veggie mixture in the center. Top with a slice of cheese. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal with a bit of water.

3. Fry the Egg Rolls:
   Heat oil in a deep skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Fry the egg rolls in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2–3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4. Serve:
   Let the egg rolls cool slightly before serving. Pair with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips for Perfect Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls:

• Don’t overfill: Too much filling can make the egg rolls difficult to seal and fry.

• Cheese choice: Provolone or mozzarella melts perfectly, but cheddar works too.

• Crispy exterior: Maintain medium-high heat when frying to ensure a golden, crunchy shell.

These Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls combine all the comfort of a classic sandwich with a crispy, hand-held twist. Perfect for parties, game days, or a fun family dinner, they deliver flavor and crunch in every bite.
