Epic Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls

One Sunday while watching football, I whipped these up just for fun. Now, folks keep asking for them whenever we have people over. It’s like the best of two family faves all jammed into one tasty handheld snack. They smell unreal coming out of the pan—crispy wrappers packed with juicy steak, onions, and peppers. Major crowd-pleaser every single time.

Kitchen Crowd-Pleaser

Imagine a crispy golden shell hiding melty cheese and perfect steak inside. That’s these egg rolls. The meat stays juicy, the cheese turns gooey, and the wrapper gets super crunchy. You can swap out fillings if you want—so simple to tweak. My friends can't wait to grab these hot bundles as soon as I plate them up.

Grab These Ingredients

  • Egg Roll Wrappers: You’ll usually spot these near the veggies in most stores.
  • Butter: Seriously, it takes all the flavors up a notch.
  • Provolone Cheese: Melts perfectly and makes it extra gooey.
  • Onion: Chopped finely for best taste in every bite.
  • Green Bell Pepper: Adds some fresh crunch and color.
  • Rib Eye Steak: Slice super small so it cooks quick and fits in your roll.

Time to Cook These Up

Bake Option:
Brush with a little oil and bake until they crisp up—they still turn out awesome.
Fry ‘Em Up:
Drop them into hot oil in small batches till crispy and golden, then let them rest a bit.
Roll ‘Em:
Pile your cheese and filling onto the wrapper, roll them snug, and seal the edges well.
Cook Filling:
First, sizzle onions, steak, and peppers in melted butter till everything smells great and looks just right.

My Easy Prep Secrets

Chop everything super small so you don’t struggle to roll them up. Rib eye’s my choice, but go with any beef you like. I always roll them up ahead of time, then fry right before serving so they’re crispy and fresh for everyone.

Must-Try Dips

These are killer with ranch, spicy horseradish, or cheesy dip. Honestly, they’re awesome by themselves but even better when you’re putting out a bunch of munchies for friends. I always double up the batch—everyone wants seconds!

How to Store ‘Em

Chill the raw rolls in the fridge overnight if you need, covered up tight. Any fried leftovers? Warm them in the oven so the crunch comes back—skip microwaving or you lose the crispy goodness.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can these be made in an air fryer?

Yep! Just mist them with oil and pop them into your air fryer set to 375°F, turning halfway. They'll crisp up and get that golden look, no deep frying needed.

→ How do I stop my egg rolls from popping open?

Don’t pile in too much filling and seal the edges with some water. Keep your oil right at 350°F and work in small batches so the pan’s not crowded. That keeps the wrappers tight and unbursted.

→ What’s great to dip these in?

Ranch is easy, but try cheese sauce, chipotle mayo, or a bit of marinara. If you want some extra zip, garlic aioli or horseradish sauce is awesome too.

→ Can I switch the steak out for something else?

Ribeye keeps it classic and super tender, but sirloin and strip steak also work. Just slice them thin and cook quick, so the beef stays soft. Stay away from stuff like chuck or round—they can get chewy.

→ Best way to warm up leftovers?

Reheat these in the oven or an air fryer set at 350°F for around 5 to 7 minutes. Skip the microwave, or you’ll lose the crunch. Using a wire rack helps everything get evenly crisp again.

→ Can I prep these in advance?

Sure thing! Roll them and keep them in the fridge, separated with wax paper, for up to a day. Fry them up right before you want to eat—they’ll be just as crunchy.

Difficulty: Intermediate

Cuisine: American

Yield: 12 Servings (12 rolls)

Dietary: Low-Carb

Ingredients

01 1 pound ribeye steak, chopped or sliced.
02 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter.
03 1 green bell pepper, diced into small chunks.
04 1/2 cup chopped onion.
05 A pinch of salt and some black pepper.
06 6 slices of provolone cheese.
07 12 wrappers for egg rolls.
08 Enough oil for deep frying.
09 Optional: ranch or your favorite dipping sauce.

Instructions

Step 01

Melt half the butter in a big skillet on medium-high heat. Stir in the onions and peppers, cooking for 3 to 4 minutes until they soften. Take them out and set aside.

Step 02

In the same skillet, melt the rest of the butter. Sprinkle the steak pieces with salt and pepper before cooking them for 3 to 4 minutes until browned nicely.

Step 03

Toss the cooked peppers and onions back into the pan with the steak.

Step 04

Spread the egg roll wrappers on a flat surface. Put half of a cheese slice in the middle of each wrapper.

Step 05

Spoon about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the steak mixture onto each wrapper. Fold per directions on the wrapper package, sealing the edges with some water.

Step 06

In a deep pan, heat oil to 350°F, filling it with 2 to 3 inches of oil.

Step 07

Drop 3 to 4 rolls into the oil at a time. Let them cook, flipping occasionally, till they’re golden, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 08

Let the fried rolls sit on some paper towels to drain. Pair them with ranch or your sauce of choice and enjoy warm.

Notes

  1. You can bake these at 425°F for 15 to 20 minutes instead.
  2. Be careful not to add too much filling to the wrappers.

  4. They make a great choice for parties or game day snacks.
