Philly cheesesteak egg rolls


  • 1 lb thinly sliced ribeye steak (or shaved beef)
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)
  • 4 slices provolone cheese (or American cheese), shredded
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped jalapeños or mushrooms for added flavor

For the Egg Rolls:

  • 12–16 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for sealing)

For Dipping Sauce:

  • Ranch dressing
  • Marinara sauce
  • Sriracha mayo

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes, until softened. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the sliced steak and cook for 3–5 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Return the cooked onions and peppers to the skillet with the steak. Stir in the shredded cheese until melted and evenly distributed. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2. Assemble the Egg Rolls

  1. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you (diamond shape).
  2. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the steak mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
  3. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly toward the top corner, brushing the edges with beaten egg to seal.
  4. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

3. Fry the Egg Rolls

  1. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Fry the egg rolls in batches for 3–4 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.

4. Serve and Enjoy

  1. Transfer the fried egg rolls to a serving platter.
  2. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch, marinara, or sriracha mayo.
  3. Enjoy every bite of these crispy, cheesy, and flavorful Philly cheesesteak egg rolls!
  4. Perfect as a standalone appetizer or paired with a side salad or roasted veggies for a complete meal.

Tips for Success

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Freshly sliced steak and high-quality cheese make a noticeable difference in flavor.
  • Switch Proteins: Substitute steak with chicken, turkey, or plant-based alternatives for variety.
  • Add Heat: Stir in diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Store Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
