It’s a crispy snack or appetizer inspired by the classic sandwich.
Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls
Ingredients
-
1 cup thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin works best)
-
½ cup bell peppers, thinly sliced
-
½ cup onions, thinly sliced
-
½ cup shredded cheese (provolone or cheddar)
-
6–8 egg roll wrappers
-
1–2 tablespoons oil for cooking
-
Salt & pepper to taste
-
Optional: garlic powder or Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
-
Cook the filling
-
Heat a pan over medium heat with a little oil.
-
Sauté onions and bell peppers until soft.
-
Add beef, salt, pepper, and optional seasonings. Cook until beef is browned.
-
Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
-
Stir in shredded cheese.
-
-
Assemble egg rolls
-
Lay an egg roll wrapper with a corner pointing at you (diamond shape).
-
Place 2–3 tablespoons of filling in the center.
-
Fold bottom corner over filling, fold in sides, then roll tightly. Seal with a dab of water.
-
-
Cook
-
Pan-fry: Heat 1–2 tablespoons oil in a pan and fry egg rolls until golden brown on all sides.
-
Oven-bake (healthier): Brush with oil, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway.
-
-
Serve
-
Cut in half if desired.
-
Serve with ketchup, ranch, or spicy mayo.
-
Tips
-
Don’t overfill, or they’ll burst.
-
Let filling cool a bit to avoid soggy wrappers.
-
Use adult supervision for frying.
Variations
-
Veggie version: Swap beef for mushrooms and extra peppers.
-
Cheese pull: Add extra shredded cheese inside.
-
Spicy: Mix in a dash of hot sauce or chili flakes.
If you want, I can make a mini version for snacks, or a baked-only version that’s extra crispy without frying.
