Delicious Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls Recipe – Page 2

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling

Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms (if using). Cook for 5-7 minutes, until softened and beginning to caramelize. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Transfer the mixture to a plate and set aside.
Cook the Steak: Increase the heat to high. Add the thinly sliced steak to the skillet, seasoning with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook quickly, breaking it up as it goes, for 3-5 minutes until just cooked through. Avoid overcooking.
Combine & Cool: Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet with the steak and stir to combine. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool for at least 10-15 minutes. This step is crucial to prevent the wrappers from tearing.
Add Cheese: Once the filling is cool, stir in the provolone cheese (and the optional Cheez Whiz, if using) until evenly distributed.

2. Assemble the Egg Rolls

Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond orientation.
Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the cooled filling in the center of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom corner up over the filling. Fold the left and right corners inward toward the center.
Tightly roll the bundle toward the top corner. Use your finger to dab a little water on the top corner of the wrapper to act as a sealant.
Finish rolling and press firmly to seal. Place the finished egg roll seam-side down on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

3. Cooking Methods

For Frying (Classic & Crispiest):

Heat 1-1.5 inches of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C).
Working in batches of 3-4 to avoid crowding, carefully place egg rolls seam-side down into the hot oil.
Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack (this keeps them crispy on all sides).

For Baking (Easier & Healthier):

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange egg rolls seam-side down on the sheet. Brush or spray generously with oil.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, carefully flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

4. Serve & Enjoy!
Serve the egg rolls immediately with your favorite dipping sauces on the side.
