Preparing Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls

Making these mouthwatering Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls involves a few straightforward steps. You’ll begin by browning the beef and sautéing some veggies. Then, assemble and seal your egg rolls before frying them to golden perfection. The entire process is simple and user-friendly, making it easy to enjoy all the flavor of a cheesesteak in a crispy, portable form.

What you’ll need

Gather these key ingredients for your egg rolls:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
• 24 egg roll wrappers
• 12 slices American cheese
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

Feel free to swap in leaner ground meats or use other types of cheese if you prefer!

Step-by-step instructions

1. Brown the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, breaking it apart into small pieces. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, then remove everything from the pan and set aside.

2. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper; cook for 5 to 7 minutes until softened and browned. Return the beef mixture and stir everything together. Allow it to cool before assembling the rolls.

3. Assemble: Lay the egg roll wrappers on a flat surface. Place half a slice of cheese and about 3 tablespoons of the filling in each wrapper.

4. Fold and Seal: Pull the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, fold in the sides, moisten the edges with water, and roll tightly to seal.

5. Fry: Heat around 1 inch of vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Fry 3 to 4 egg rolls until golden brown and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.Now that your Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls are hot and crispy, how should you serve them? Pair these delectable rolls with a side of spicy mustard or tangy ketchup for dipping. A fresh salad or sweet potato fries can make this a complete meal. Want to take it up a notch? Serve these egg rolls alongside a classic cheesesteak sandwich or some homemade coleslaw for a full-on feast.

   The Best Way to Save Extras

   If you happen to have leftovers (which is rare), you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, these egg rolls freeze beautifully. Just place them in a single layer on a baking sheet until frozen, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready to enjoy them, you can brush them lightly with oil and bake or fry them straight from the freezer!

   Helpful Cooking Tips

   Here are a few tips to elevate your egg roll experience:

   • Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying; this ensures even cooking and crispiness.
   • Adjust the filling: Feel free to add mushrooms or jalapeños for extra flavor.
   • Experiment with sauces: Consider a garlic aioli or sriracha mayo to add an unexpected twist.

   Creative Twists

   Why not experiment with different flavors? You can easily swap out the ground beef for chicken or turkey. For a vegetarian twist, use mushrooms and tofu. And if you’re feeling adventurous, try adding some barbecue sauce for a unique spin on these classic rolls!
