Ohhh yeah—golden-fried Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls are elite snack food 😌🔥
Here’s a foolproof, crowd-pleasing version that’s crispy outside, melty inside, and very hard to stop eating.
Golden-Fried Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls
🧾 Ingredients
Filling
- 1 lb ribeye steak (or sirloin), thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp oil (neutral or olive)
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (optional but 🔥)
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
Cheese
- 6–8 slices provolone or
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or
- Cheese Whiz (authentic chaos option)
Egg Rolls
- 12–15 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg + 1 tbsp water (egg wash)
For Frying
- Vegetable or peanut oil (enough for deep frying)
🔥 Instructions
1. Cook the filling
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat
- Sauté onions, peppers, and mushrooms until soft and lightly caramelized
- Push veggies to the side, add steak, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder
- Cook quickly—steak should be just done, not overcooked
- Turn off heat, mix everything together, and let cool slightly
⚠️ Cooling matters—hot filling = soggy egg rolls
2. Assemble the egg rolls
- Lay an egg roll wrapper like a diamond
- Add 2–3 tbsp steak mixture near the bottom
- Top with cheese
- Fold bottom up → fold sides in → roll tightly
- Seal with egg wash
3. Fry to golden perfection
- Heat oil to 350°F (175°C)
- Fry 2–3 at a time for 3–4 minutes, turning until deep golden brown
- Drain on paper towels
🧀 Dipping Sauce Ideas
- Spicy ketchup
- Garlic aioli
- Chipotle mayo
- Cheese Whiz (no judgment, only respect)
🔁 Easy Variations
- Air fryer: Spray lightly with oil, 380°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway
- Buffalo style: Toss steak in a little Buffalo sauce before rolling
- Pizza vibes: Add sautéed onions + provolone + a touch of marinara (trust me)
If you want, I can:
- Optimize these for air fryer only
- Scale them for a party tray
- Help you make them ahead + freeze perfectly
Just say the word 😎
