### **Step-by-Step Guide to Making Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls**
Making Philly cheesesteak egg rolls is a relatively straightforward process. While it may take a little time to prep the ingredients, the result is totally worth it. Here’s how you can make these delicious egg rolls from scratch.
#### **Step 1: Prepare the Beef and Onions**
1. **Slice the Beef:** If you haven’t already, slice the beef into thin strips. Freezing the steak for about 20 minutes before slicing will help you get thinner, more uniform pieces. Ribeye is the preferred cut because it’s tender and flavorful, but sirloin works as well if you prefer a leaner option.
2. **Sauté the Onions:** Heat a tablespoon of butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté them for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are soft and caramelized. Remove the onions from the pan and set them aside.
3. **Cook the Beef:** In the same skillet, add the sliced beef to the pan. Sauté the beef for 3-4 minutes, or until it’s cooked through and browned. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add a splash of Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor. Return the sautéed onions to the pan and mix everything together.
4. **Add the Cheese:** Lower the heat and add the provolone cheese to the beef and onions. Stir until the cheese melts and creates a gooey, cheesy filling. Once the cheese has melted, remove the skillet from the heat and let the filling cool slightly.
#### **Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls**
1. **Prepare the Egg Roll Wrappers:** Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface, with one corner facing you (like a diamond shape). Brush the edges of the wrapper with the egg wash to help seal it.
2. **Add the Filling:** Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the Philly cheesesteak filling in the center of the wrapper. Be careful not to overfill, as this can make it difficult to seal the egg roll.
3. **Roll the Egg Rolls:** Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll the egg roll up tightly, making sure the edges are sealed. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
#### **Step 3: Fry the Egg Rolls**
1. **Heat the Oil:** Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 350°F (175°C). You’ll need enough oil to submerge the egg rolls. Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature for frying.
2. **Fry the Egg Rolls:** Carefully lower the egg rolls into the hot oil, a few at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the egg rolls for 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
3. **Drain and Serve:** Remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
#### **Step 4: Serve and Enjoy**
Serve the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls with your choice of dipping sauces, such as ranch, barbecue sauce, or spicy mustard. These egg rolls are best enjoyed while still hot and crispy, so gather your friends and family and dig in!
