– **1 lb ribeye steak** (or sirloin), thinly sliced
– **1 tablespoon olive oil**
– **1 medium onion**, thinly sliced
– **1 bell pepper**, thinly sliced (optional)
– **2 cloves garlic**, minced
– **Salt and pepper**, to taste
– **8-10 egg roll wrappers**
– **2 cups provolone cheese** (or American cheese), shredded
– **1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce** (optional)
– **Oil for frying** (vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil work well)
For dipping sauce (optional):
– **Ranch dressing** or **cheese sauce**
– **Hot sauce** (for a spicy kick)
### Instructions:
#### **1. Prepare the Steak and Vegetables**:
– Heat **olive oil** in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the **sliced onions** and **bell peppers** (if using), and sauté until they become soft and caramelized, about **5-7 minutes**.
– Add the **minced garlic** and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
– Season the vegetables with **salt** and **pepper** to taste, then remove from the skillet and set them aside.
– In the same skillet, add a little more oil if necessary, and cook the **thinly sliced steak** over medium-high heat for **2-3 minutes** or until just browned. If desired, add **Worcestershire sauce** for extra flavor. Season with **salt** and **pepper**.
– Once the steak is cooked through, add the sautéed onions and peppers back into the skillet with the steak and mix everything together. Remove from heat.
#### **2. Assemble the Egg Rolls**:
– Place one **egg roll wrapper** on a clean, flat surface, with one corner facing you (diamond shape).
– Spoon about **2-3 tablespoons** of the steak and vegetable mixture into the center of the wrapper.
– Top the filling with **shredded provolone cheese**.
– Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper up over the filling, then fold the sides in toward the center. Roll the wrapper up tightly, sealing the top corner with a little water to help it stick.
– Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
#### **3. Fry the Egg Rolls**:
– Heat **vegetable oil** (or your preferred frying oil) in a deep fryer or large pot over medium-high heat. You want the oil to be around **350°F (175°C)** for frying.
– Carefully add the egg rolls to the hot oil, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the egg rolls for about **3-4 minutes** or until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
– Use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
#### **4. Serve and Enjoy**:
– Once your Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls are golden and crispy, serve them with your favorite dipping sauces, such as **ranch dressing**, **cheese sauce**, or **hot sauce**.
– Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives for an extra touch of color and flavor.
### Tips for Perfect Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls:
– **Meat Selection**: While ribeye steak is often preferred for its tenderness and flavor, you can also use other cuts like **sirloin** or **flank steak**. Just be sure to slice the meat thinly for the best texture in your egg rolls.
– **Customize the Filling**: You can add other ingredients like sautéed mushrooms or spinach for additional flavor and texture. Feel free to experiment with the filling to match your personal taste.
– **Make Ahead**: You can assemble the egg rolls ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to **24 hours** before frying. Just cover them with a damp paper towel to prevent the wrappers from drying out.
– **Air Fryer Option**: If you prefer a lighter, less greasy version, you can cook these egg rolls in an air fryer. Set the air fryer to **375°F (190°C)** and cook for about **10-12 minutes**, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
