3. Equipment

Having the right equipment on hand will make the cooking process smoother and more enjoyable. Here’s a list of what you’ll need:

  • Large skillet: A spacious skillet is essential for cooking the steak and vegetables evenly.
  • Mixing bowl: For combining the cheese filling ingredients.
  • Cutting board: To protect your countertops while slicing and dicing.
  • Sharp knife: A good knife will make quick work of chopping the vegetables.
  • Tongs: For safely handling the egg rolls during frying.
  • Deep fryer or large pot: A deep fryer provides consistent temperature control, but a large pot works just as well.
  • Paper towels: For draining excess oil after frying.

4. Step-by-Step Instructions

Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these detailed instructions to create perfect Philly cheesesteak egg rolls every time.

1. Prepare the Steak and Vegetables

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes. Remove steak from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the cooked steak back to the skillet with the vegetables. Mix well and remove from heat. Feel free to experiment with other seasonings; perhaps a dash of paprika or onion powder would suit your taste. For another Hollywood inspired recipe, have you seen our Forrest Gump Shrimp Boil?

2. Mix the Cheese Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and shredded provolone cheese. Mix until well combined and creamy. This cheesy mixture will add a rich and smooth texture to your Philly cheesesteak egg rolls. If you’re a fan of extra cheese, feel free to add more provolone or even a bit of mozzarella. A little parmesan cheese can be interesting if you want to add some edge to your recipe!

3. Assemble the Egg Rolls

Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner pointing towards you. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the steak and vegetable mixture in the center of the wrapper. Top with a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Wet the top corner with a little water and roll up tightly to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling. Make sure each rouleau de printemps au cheesesteak is tightly sealed to prevent the filling from leaking out during frying. Ensure there are no holes or tears so you won’t lose any juice while cooking.

4. Fry the Egg Rolls

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the egg rolls au fromage et steak in the hot oil, a few at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the fryer. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as Cheese Wiz or a spicy mayo. Enjoy these delicious, crispy treats fresh! Want something equally fun to drink with these?

5. Tips and Tricks for Perfect Egg Rolls

Mastering the art of egg roll making takes practice, but these tips and tricks will help you achieve perfection every time.

  • Don’t Overfill: Overfilling the egg rolls can cause them to burst during frying. Aim for a balanced filling that’s not too bulky.
  • Seal Properly: Ensure the wrappers are tightly sealed to prevent oil from seeping in. A little water or egg wash works wonders.
  • Control the Heat: Maintain a consistent oil temperature to ensure even cooking and crispiness. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
  • Drain Well: Use paper towels to drain excess oil after frying for a less greasy result. This helps maintain the crispiness.
  • Make Ahead: Assemble the egg rolls ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until ready to fry. This is a great time-saver for parties!

6. Variations and Adaptations

Get creative and customize these Philly cheesesteak egg rolls to suit your taste preferences. Here are some ideas to get you started:

  • Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling for a spicy twist. A touch of sriracha or chili oil can also do the trick.
  • Cheese Variations: Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack. Each cheese brings a unique flavor profile.
  • Vegetarian Option: Replace the steak with sautéed mushrooms for a vegetarian version. Portobello mushrooms are a great choice for their meaty texture.
  • Dipping Sauces: Try serving with different dipping sauces such as sriracha mayo, sweet chili sauce, or a classic cheese sauce. The dipping sauce can really elevate the experience. Or perhaps try our Oceans Eleven Vegas Nachos, but without the nachos for a different dipping sauce.

7. Serving Suggestions

These Philly cheesesteak egg rolls are incredibly versatile and can be served in various ways. They are fantastic on their own as an appetizer or snack, perfect for game day or a casual get-together.

To bake these, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), place the egg rolls on a baking sheet, and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. You can also add more vegetables to the filling to increase the nutritional value, making this indulgent treat a bit more balanced. Consider incorporating spinach, kale, or even shredded carrots.
