I mean crispy egg roll wrappers filled with meat and cheese. How can anything better? These crunchy egg rolls have all the flavors of a Philly Cheesesteak in an easy-to-eat egg roll.

Ingredient Notes
- Olive Oi
- Egg: Egg Wash (Egg + 1 tablespoon of water will seal our Egg rolls)
- Green Pepper and Onion
- Jalapeno, Optional
- Ribeye: While there are many types of steak that can be used, I used Ribeye. The steak needs to be cut very thin. Ribeyes have beautiful fat marbling which gives great flavor, and cooks up quick. Bonus: they’re also super tender. You could also substitute Sirloin here.
- Provolone Cheese: Freshly shredded provolone is my favorite. Pepper jack or mozzarella would work as well.
- Egg Roll Wrappers: Egg roll wrappers are available in most grocery stores. In most grocery stores, the egg roll wrappers are located in the refrigerator area of the produce section.
- Vegetable Oil, For Frying
How To Make Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls
Saute: Saute onions, pepper, and jalapeno until softened. Add steak,, and cook until you reach your desired level of doneness.
Deep Fry: Heat oil to 350 degrees. Divide steak/veggie mixture between egg roll wrappers. Fill with cheese. Seal with egg wash. Fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can You Bake Them?
You can bake them if you’d prefer. Bake them for 9-10 minutes @ 425 degrees. Turn them over about halfway. Baked egg rolls are healthier, but not as crunchy.
Can You Make Them Ahead Of Time?
Yes, you can be made ahead of time. If you want to make these cheesesteak egg rolls ahead of time, they will last (uncooked) in the refrigerator for 1 day. Cheesesteak egg rolls can be stored in the freezer, both cooked and uncooked, for 3 months as well.
Serve With
I like to serve with a side of french fries or onion rings like you would get when ordering out. You can also make it a healthier meal by serving these egg rolls with a side salad or vegetables. I like dipping in soy sauce, but my family prefers BBQ sauce or Cheese Whiz.
Variations
Mix Up the Cheese: Mozzarella or pepper jack would also be tasty.
Mix Up the Meat: Sirloin would be delicious. In a pinch, ground beef or even Steak-Ums would work.
Make It Healthier: Bake the egg rolls instead of frying. Bake at 425 degrees for 9-10 minutes.
Make It Gluten Free: Store bought or homemade versions are available.
