Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls are a delicious fusion appetizer combining the classic flavors of a Philly cheesesteak sandwich with the crispy texture of egg rolls. Tender beef, sautéed onions, and bell peppers are mixed with melted cheese, then wrapped in crispy egg roll wrappers and fried to golden perfection, creating a truly irresistible snack or party treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1/2 pound thinly sliced beef (such as ribeye or sirloin)
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced bell peppers (green or a mix of colors)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar or Provolone recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil for sautéing

Egg Rolls

  • 10–12 egg roll wrappers
  • Vegetable oil for frying (about 2 cups)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for sealing wrappers)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Filling: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers and sauté until they are tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheese until melted and well combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
  2. Wrap in Egg Rolls: Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing towards you (diamond shape). Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the cooled filling near the corner closest to you. Fold the corner over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly. Roll the wrapper away from you, sealing the top corner with beaten egg to secure it. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  3. Fry Until Golden: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place 3-4 egg rolls at a time into the hot oil, frying for 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Beef can be substituted with thinly sliced chicken or turkey if preferred.
  • Cheese choice impacts flavor; provolone gives a more authentic Philly taste, while cheddar adds sharpness.
  • Do not overfill egg rolls to avoid bursting during frying.
  • Ensure oil temperature is maintained for optimal crispiness without absorbing excess oil.
  • Can be baked at 425°F for 15-18 minutes for a healthier alternative, flipping halfway.
