These Crispy Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls combine sizzling steak, caramelized onions, and melted provolone cheese wrapped in a perfectly crisp egg roll shell for a delicious handheld snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ribeye steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional but recommended)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 810 egg roll wrappers
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice about 1 lb of ribeye or sirloin steak against the grain. Thinly slice 1 medium yellow onion and 1 green bell pepper, and mince 2 cloves of garlic.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and peppers, stirring occasionally, cooking for about 8-10 minutes until soft and golden brown. Add garlic in the last 2 minutes to avoid burning.
  3. Push the veggies to the side of the pan and add the sliced steak. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring until the steak just loses its pink color but remains juicy.
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Mix everything together and cook another minute so flavors meld.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it cool slightly to prevent soggy wrappers.
  6. Lay out one egg roll wrapper with a corner pointing toward you (diamond shape). Place about 2-3 tablespoons of filling near the corner closest to you. Add a slice of provolone on top of the filling.
  7. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold the left and right corners inward, then roll tightly toward the top corner. Seal the edge with a dab of water.
  8. Pour vegetable oil into a deep pan to about 1-2 inches depth. Heat to 350°F (175°C).
  9. Carefully add 3-4 egg rolls at a time to the hot oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and crisp on all sides.
  10. Remove egg rolls with tongs and place on paper towels or a cooling rack. Let them rest for a minute or two before serving.

Notes

If the filling feels too wet, drain excess liquid before assembling. Don’t overfill the wrappers to prevent bursting during frying. Maintain oil temperature at 350°F for best results. For a lighter option, bake at 425°F for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway.
