INGREDIENTS

For the Filling:

  • 1 pound thinly sliced beef (ribeye, sirloin, or shaved steak)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese (or mozzarella/cheddar blend)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter

For the Egg Rolls:

  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

For Dipping Sauce (optional):

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Prepare the Filling:
    • Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
    • Add the onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms (if using) and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
    • Push the vegetables to one side of the pan, then add the sliced beef. Cook until browned and fully cooked through.
    • Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix the beef and vegetables together.
    • Remove from heat, drain any excess liquid, and let the mixture cool slightly.
    • Once cool, mix in the shredded provolone cheese.
  2. Assemble the Egg Rolls:
    • Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing toward you (diamond shape).
    • Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.
    • Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, rolling tightly to seal. Brush the edges with beaten egg to secure.
    • Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  3. Cook the Egg Rolls:
    • Frying: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
    • Baking: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place egg rolls on a greased baking sheet, brush with a little oil, and bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
    • Air Frying: Lightly spray the egg rolls with cooking spray and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway.
  4. Prepare the Dipping Sauce (optional):
    • Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl. Adjust seasonings to taste.
  5. Serve:
    • Serve the egg rolls hot with the dipping sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Make-Ahead: You can assemble the egg rolls ahead of time and freeze them. Fry directly from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time.
  • Cheese Options: Experiment with other cheeses like American, Swiss, or even a queso blend for a twist.
  • Vegetarian Option: Substitute the beef with sautéed mushrooms and add more veggies for a delicious veggie-filled version.

Enjoy these crispy, cheesy Philly cheesesteak egg rolls for any occasion!
