Introduction
Enjoy the bold flavors of a Philly cheesesteak in a fun and crispy egg roll form. These Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls combine tender rib-eye, sautéed peppers and onions, and melted provolone cheese wrapped in a crunchy shell, perfect for dipping and sharing.

Ingredients
- Butter – 1 ½ tbsp.
- Green bell pepper, chopped – 1
- Onion, chopped – ½ cup
- Boneless rib-eye steak, sliced or chopped – 1 pound
- Salt
- Pepper
- Provolone cheese – 6 slices
- Egg roll wrappers – 12
- Oil for frying
- Optional: Ranch for dipping
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat half of the butter (¾ tbsp) in a large pan over medium flame. Add the chopped green bell pepper and onion, cooking for 3 to 4 minutes until softened.
- Step 2: Remove the cooked vegetables from the pan and keep them covered on a plate to retain heat.
- Step 3: Melt the remaining butter in the same pan. Add the rib-eye steak slices and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the meat is browned and cooked through.
- Step 4: Return the cooked vegetables to the pan and stir to combine with the steak.
- Step 5: Unfold the egg roll wrappers. Place half a slice of provolone cheese in the center of each wrapper.
- Step 6: Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the steak and vegetable mixture onto the cheese. Fold the wrappers according to package instructions, using water to seal the edges securely.
- Step 7: Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Fry 3 to 4 egg rolls at a time, turning as needed, for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Step 8: Drain the fried egg rolls on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch if desired.
Tips & Variations
- Use rib-eye steak for the best flavor, but thinly sliced sirloin or flank steak can work well too.
- Add mushrooms or jalapeños to the vegetable mix for extra depth and a kick.
- Try swapping provolone for mozzarella or American cheese for a different twist.
- If you prefer baking over frying, brush the egg rolls with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15 to 20 minutes until crispy.
Storage
Store leftover cooked filling and assembled but uncooked egg rolls in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best texture, fry or bake egg rolls fresh before serving. Reheat cooked egg rolls in a hot oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.

FAQs
Can I prepare the filling ahead of time?
Yes, you can make the steak and vegetable filling a day ahead. Keep it refrigerated and assemble the egg rolls just before cooking.
What can I use if I don’t have egg roll wrappers?
Wonton wrappers can be a good substitute in a pinch, though they are smaller and will require less filling per roll. Large flour tortillas could also work but will give a different texture.

Instructions
- Sauté the vegetables: Heat half the butter (¾ tablespoon) in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped green bell pepper and onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften. Remove from pan and cover to keep warm.
- Cook the steak: Melt the remaining butter in the same pan. Add the rib-eye steak, seasoning with salt and black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the steak turns brown and is cooked through.
- Combine steak and vegetables: Return the sautéed vegetables to the pan with the cooked steak and mix thoroughly to combine the flavors.
- Assemble the egg rolls: Lay out an egg roll wrapper and place half a slice of provolone cheese in the center. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the steak and vegetable filling on top of the cheese. Fold and roll the wrapper tightly according to package directions, using water to seal the edges firmly.
- Fry the egg rolls: Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry 3-4 egg rolls at a time, turning occasionally, for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and serve: Remove the egg rolls from oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite sauce, such as ranch dressing if desired.
Notes
- Use a sharp knife to slice the rib-eye thinly for tender filling.
- Ensure oil is hot enough before frying to get a crispy texture without absorbing excess oil.
- Seal the egg rolls tightly to prevent filling from leaking during frying.
- Leftover filling can be stored refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated for use.
- For a lighter option, try baking the egg rolls at 400°F (204°C) for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through.
