Ingredients

  • Butter – 1 ½ tbsp
  • Green bell pepper, chopped – 1
  • Onion, chopped – ½ cup
  • Boneless rib-eye steak, sliced or chopped – 1 pound
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Provolone cheese – 6 slices
  • Egg roll wrappers – 12
  • Oil for frying
  • Optional: Ranch for dipping

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat a large pan over medium flame. Melt half of the butter (¾ tbsp) in the pan. Add the chopped green bell pepper and onion, cooking for 3–4 minutes until softened.
  2. Step 2: Remove the cooked vegetables to a plate and cover to keep warm. Melt the remaining butter in the same pan.
  3. Step 3: Add the rib-eye steak to the melted butter. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the steak is browned and cooked through.
  4. Step 4: Return the cooked vegetables to the pan with the steak and mix well to combine.
  5. Step 5: Unfold the egg roll wrappers. Place half a slice of provolone cheese in the center of each wrapper.
  6. Step 6: Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of the steak and vegetable mixture onto each wrapper, on top of the cheese.
  7. Step 7: Fold the wrappers according to package directions, using a small amount of water to seal the edges securely.
  8. Step 8: Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Fry 3–4 egg rolls at a time, turning as needed, for 3–5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  9. Step 9: Drain the fried egg rolls on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or garlic powder to the steak mixture before cooking.
  • Try using different cheeses like cheddar or mozzarella for a different twist.
  • To make baking easier, chill the filling before wrapping so it’s less likely to leak.
  • If you prefer, bake the egg rolls at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes instead of deep frying for a lighter option.

Storage

Store leftover Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes until heated through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving to maintain their crispiness.

How to Serve

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • ½ cup onion, chopped

Meat and Cheese

  • 1 pound boneless rib-eye steak, sliced or chopped
  • 6 slices provolone cheese

Other Ingredients

  • 1 ½ tablespoons butter, divided
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • Oil for deep frying (vegetable or canola oil recommended)
  • Optional: Ranch dressing for dipping

Instructions

  1. Prepare Vegetables: Heat half of the butter (about ¾ tablespoon) in a large pan over medium flame. Add the chopped green bell pepper and onion to the melted butter. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Remove the cooked vegetables and place them on a plate; cover to keep warm.
  2. Cook Steak: In the same pan, melt the remaining butter. Add the sliced rib-eye steak to the pan. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook the steak for 3 to 4 minutes until the meat turns brown and is cooked through.
  3. Combine Filling: Return the cooked vegetables to the pan with the steak and mix well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
  4. Assemble Egg Rolls: Unfold the egg roll wrappers carefully. In the center of each wrapper, place half a slice of provolone cheese followed by 2 to 3 tablespoons of the steak and vegetable filling. Fold the wrappers according to package directions, using water to moisten and seal the edges to prevent any filling from leaking during frying.
  5. Heat Oil: In a deep frying pan or pot, heat enough oil to submerge the egg rolls over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
  6. Fry Egg Rolls: Fry 3 to 4 egg rolls at a time, turning occasionally for even browning. Fry for 3 to 5 minutes or until the egg rolls are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Drain and Serve: Remove the fried egg rolls from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to avoid soggy egg rolls.
  • You can substitute rib-eye with sirloin or flank steak for a leaner option.
  • For a spicier twist, add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes to the filling.
  • Make sure not to overfill the egg roll wrappers to prevent tearing during frying.
  • Use a thermometer to monitor oil temperature for consistent frying results.
