Crispy Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls

Introduction

Crispy Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls offer the irresistible flavor of a classic Philly cheesesteak in a portable, crunchy package. Whether you’re looking for an unforgettable appetizer, a fun party snack, or a satisfying weeknight treat, these egg rolls will quickly become a favorite. Their hearty filling of savory beef, gooey cheese, and tender sautéed vegetables wrapped in a golden, crispy shell delivers the best of both worlds—comfort food tradition and crowd-pleasing crunch.

Why Crispy Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls Are a Must-Try

What sets this recipe apart is its perfect blend of flavors and textures. Each bite combines juicy, seasoned steak, melty cheese, and the rich taste of caramelized onions and peppers—all wrapped snugly in a crackling, golden egg roll wrapper. The contrast between the soft, savory filling and the crisp shell makes this dish an instant hit for any gathering and a guaranteed family favorite.

Getting the Filling Just Right

Start by sautéing thinly sliced beef with onions and bell peppers until everything is beautifully caramelized. Then, stir in provolone cheese (or your preferred cheese for extra meltiness) until just combined. The key to perfect egg roll filling is keeping it moist without being soggy, so be sure to cook off excess moisture before wrapping.

Assembling and Frying Your Egg Rolls

Lay your egg roll wrappers on a clean surface and spoon the filling onto each. Rolling tightly ensures that the filling is secure and the egg rolls fry up perfectly crisp. Use a little water along the edges to seal them. Fry in hot oil until golden brown and drain on a wire rack or paper towels to ensure optimum crunch.

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender.
2. Add the sliced steak to the skillet. Season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the steak is just cooked through and most of the liquid has evaporated.
3. Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in provolone cheese until evenly melted and combined with the beef-veggie mixture. Let the mixture cool slightly.
4. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean work surface. Place 2-3 tablespoons of filling near one corner. Fold the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the right and left sides. Moisten the top edge with water and roll up tightly to seal.
5. Repeat with all wrappers and remaining filling.
6. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet (about 1 inch deep) to 350°F. Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy (about 3-4 minutes per side).
