🛒 Ingredients You'll Need
-
1 lb ribeye steak or deli roast beef, thinly sliced
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
1 small onion, finely chopped
-
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
-
1 small red bell pepper (optional, for color), finely chopped
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
1 tsp garlic powder
-
8 oz provolone cheese or Cheez Whiz, shredded or sliced
-
Egg roll wrappers (available at most grocery stores)
-
Vegetable oil, for frying
-
Optional dipping sauce: garlic aioli, spicy ranch, or sriracha mayo
🔥 How to Make Them
-
Cook the filling:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions and peppers until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the steak and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until just browned, then remove from heat. Stir in cheese until melted. -
Assemble the egg rolls:
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of the filling in the center. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from bottom to top, sealing the edge with a dab of water. -
Fry to perfection:
Heat oil (about 350°F) in a deep pan or fryer. Carefully add egg rolls a few at a time and fry until golden brown, about 3–4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. -
Serve hot and melty:
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, or just enjoy them as is — they’re loaded with flavor!
👩🍳 Tips for Extra Deliciousness
-
Use good-quality beef: Ribeye or sirloin works best for a true cheesesteak flavor.
-
Cheese matters: Provolone gives a creamy melt, while Cheez Whiz brings authentic Philly flair.
-
Don’t overfill the wrappers: Too much filling = harder to seal and fry.
-
Make ahead: Assemble and freeze uncooked egg rolls for easy frying later.
