The beef steak brings flavor and richness. The onion and green bell pepper add sweetness and crunch. Provolone cheese melts beautifully, binding everything together. Egg roll wrappers create a crispy, golden shell that holds the filling. Each serving of Cheesy Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls contains approximately: - Calories: 250 - Fat: 15g - Protein: 10g - Carbohydrates: 20g This breakdown helps you understand the nutrition in each bite. If you want to switch things up, consider these alternatives: - Instead of beef, try chicken or turkey for a lighter option. - Swap provolone for mozzarella or cheddar for a different taste. - For gluten-free needs, use gluten-free egg roll wrappers. These substitutes keep the spirit of the dish while catering to your tastes or dietary needs. Start by cooking the onions and bell peppers. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add two tablespoons of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, toss in one medium onion and one green bell pepper, both thinly sliced. Sauté these for about 5-7 minutes. You want them to soften and become slightly caramelized. This step adds great flavor! Next, season the beef with spices. After the veggies are ready, add one pound of thinly sliced beef steak to the skillet. I like to use ribeye or sirloin for the best taste. Season with salt, pepper, one teaspoon of garlic powder, and one teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Stir everything well. Cook the beef until it turns brown, which takes about 3-4 minutes. To ensure the beef cooks evenly, keep stirring. This keeps it from sticking and burning. You want every piece to get that nice brown color. After the beef is browned, check for doneness. The beef should be tender and flavorful. If it tastes good, it’s ready for the next step. Now, let’s add the cheese! Take the skillet off the heat and stir in two cups of shredded provolone cheese. Mix well until the cheese melts and combines with the beef and veggies. Let the mixture cool down a bit before you wrap the egg rolls. To assemble the egg rolls, lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with a corner facing you. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the beef and cheese filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll it up tightly, making sure the filling stays inside. Use a little water to seal the top corner. This helps prevent leaks. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling. It’s like a little gift wrapped in crispy goodness! Now for the best part: frying! Heat oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil needs to be hot enough to fry the egg rolls. Aim for about 350°F (175°C). If you drop a small piece of bread in and it bubbles, you are ready! Carefully add the egg rolls in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, which takes about 3-4 minutes on each side. Keep an eye on them. Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg rolls and place them on paper towels. This will help drain any excess oil. For the full recipe, follow the steps and enjoy this tasty treat! To get the crispiest egg rolls, use the right oil and temperature. Heat your oil to 350°F. This helps the egg rolls fry fast, creating a crunchy outside. If the oil is too cool, your egg rolls can turn soggy. Frying in batches is key. If you crowd the pan, the oil cools down. This means less crunch. I usually fry 3-4 egg rolls at a time. This keeps the heat steady. You can also air fry or bake your egg rolls. Air frying gives them a nice crisp without all the oil. Set your air fryer to 400°F. Bake them at 425°F for a healthier twist. Just remember, the texture may be a bit different. When frying, I recommend vegetable or canola oil. These oils have a mild flavor that won’t overpower your filling. Olive oil can be used, too, but its taste is stronger. Pair your egg rolls with tasty dipping sauces. I suggest marinara, ranch, or spicy aioli. Each adds a different kick to your bites. For side dishes, think light and fresh. A simple salad or crispy fries works well. You can also serve them with pickles for a zesty crunch. Enjoy your Cheesy Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls with these tasty sides! {{image_2}} You can switch up the meat in your egg rolls. Try chicken, pork, or even turkey. Each meat brings a unique taste to the dish. If you want a veggie twist, use mushrooms, zucchini, or spinach. For a vegetarian or vegan option, swap the meat for beans or tofu. Use vegan cheese to keep it plant-based. This way, you can enjoy a cheesy flavor without the dairy. Want to spice things up? Add hot sauce or Worcestershire sauce to the filling. A dash of these sauces can really kick up the flavor. You can also try mixing in different cheeses. Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or even pepper jack can add a fun twist. Each cheese melts differently and brings its own taste. Experiment with what you like best! If you are looking for something different, consider gluten-free wrappers. They are easy to find and work just as well. You can also make your own wrappers at home. If you want a lighter option, use spring roll wrappers instead. They are thinner and give a nice crunch. No matter what wrapper you choose, the filling will shine through! For the full recipe, check out the details provided earlier! To keep your Cheesy Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls fresh, store them in an airtight container. Place parchment paper between layers to avoid sticking. They last in the fridge for about 3 to 4 days. Make sure to cool them to room temperature first. This step prevents condensation, which can make them soggy. You can freeze egg rolls before or after frying. To freeze before frying, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. Then, place them in a freezer bag. They can stay frozen for up to 3 months. If you freeze them after frying, let them cool first. Then, follow the same wrapping method. To reheat, bake in the oven at 375°F for 15-20 minutes, until crispy. You can also use an air fryer at 350°F for about 10 minutes. Food safety is key for storing your egg rolls. Always refrigerate leftovers within two hours of cooking. Check for signs of spoilage before eating. If they smell off or look discolored, toss them out. Trust your senses! Keeping egg rolls safe to eat helps you enjoy their bold and tasty flavor longer. Yes, you can prep these egg rolls in advance. Make the filling and wrap the egg rolls. Place them on a tray and cover with plastic wrap. Store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When ready to eat, simply fry them as usual. If you freeze them, they can last up to a month. Just make sure to thaw them in the fridge before frying for best results. Egg rolls taste great with many dips. Some popular options include: - Marinara sauce - Ranch dressing - Spicy aioli - Sweet chili sauce You can also make a simple soy sauce mix. Just add a splash of vinegar and a pinch of sugar. Leftovers will stay good in the fridge for about 3 days. Keep them in an airtight container to keep them fresh. When you want to eat them, reheat in an oven to keep them crispy. Egg roll wrappers can break for a few reasons: - They may be too dry. Keep them covered until you roll. - You may overfill them. Use just enough filling to close them well. - The oil may be too hot when frying. This can cause them to crack. Be gentle when wrapping and frying to avoid breaks. Yes, you can bake these egg rolls! Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the egg rolls on a baking sheet. Brush them lightly with oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
