Cheesesteak Egg Rolls are a delightful fusion of the classic Philly cheesesteak and crispy, golden egg rolls. Perfect as an appetizer, snack, or party dish, these egg rolls combine tender steak, melted provolone cheese, and sautéed vegetables, all wrapped in a crunchy exterior.
Ingredients (Serves 8):
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- 1 lb. steak strips, cut into small cubes
- 1 green pepper, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 large egg, beaten
- McCormick Montreal steak seasoning, to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling:
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the steak, diced onion, and diced green pepper to the skillet. Sauté until the steak is cooked through and the vegetables are softened.
- Season the mixture with McCormick Montreal steak seasoning to taste. Drain any excess fat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls:
- Lay the egg roll wrappers on a flat surface. Brush the edges of each wrapper with the beaten egg to help seal them.
- Place a layer of the steak mixture down the center of each wrapper, avoiding the edges.
- Fold a slice of provolone cheese in half and place it on top of the steak mixture.
- Fold in the sides of the wrapper, then fold up the bottom and roll tightly around the filling, sealing the top edge to form a pocket.
- Fry the Egg Rolls:
- Heat several inches of vegetable oil in a high-sided skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot.
- Fry the egg rolls in batches until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Serve:
- Serve the egg rolls hot, with your favorite dipping sauces like marinara, ranch, or a spicy aioli.
Description and Tips:
Cheesesteak Egg Rolls are a tasty twist on the traditional cheesesteak sandwich, combining savory steak, gooey cheese, and a crispy wrapper. They’re easy to make and perfect for impressing guests at your next gathering.
Tips:
- Cheese: Provolone cheese works great for that authentic cheesesteak flavor, but you can also try mozzarella or American cheese.
- Oil Temperature: Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying (around 350°F) to achieve a crispy exterior without absorbing too much oil.
- Cooling the Filling: Let the filling cool slightly before assembling the egg rolls to prevent the wrappers from becoming soggy.
- Sealing: Brushing the edges of the wrappers with beaten egg helps to seal the egg rolls and prevents them from opening during frying.
- Dipping Sauces: Offer a variety of dipping sauces to complement the egg rolls, such as spicy ketchup, garlic aioli, or cheese sauce.
These Cheesesteak Egg Rolls are a crowd-pleaser, bringing together the best of both worlds in a deliciously crunchy and cheesy bite.
