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.

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
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender.

- 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.
- Repeat with all wrappers and remaining filling.
- 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).
