Cheesesteak egg rolls are a delightful fusion of classic cheesesteak flavors wrapped in crispy egg roll wrappers. Here’s a simple recipe for making cheesesteak egg rolls:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound thinly sliced steak (such as ribeye or sirloin)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 8 slices provolone cheese, cut into strips
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Optional dipping sauce:
- Ketchup
- Sriracha mayo (mix sriracha sauce with mayonnaise)
- Ranch dressing
Instructions:
- Prepare the Steak:
- Season the thinly sliced steak with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak slices and cook until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and green bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables are softened and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls:
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape, with one corner pointing toward you.
- Place a strip of provolone cheese in the center of the wrapper.
- Top the cheese with a portion of the cooked steak and caramelized vegetables.
- Roll the Egg Rolls:
- Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling.
- Fold the side corners toward the center.
- Lightly moisten the remaining corner with water and roll up the wrapper tightly to seal the egg roll.
- Fry the Egg Rolls:
- In a deep skillet or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil, seam side down, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove the egg rolls from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Serve:
- Serve the cheesesteak egg rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, sriracha mayo, or ranch dressing.
