Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls

Introduction:

Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls are a delicious twist on the iconic Philadelphia cheesesteak sandwich, combining the rich flavors of seasoned steak, melted cheese, and sautéed vegetables, all wrapped up in a crispy egg roll shell. These bites are perfect for gatherings, parties, or simply as a savory snack at home. The crunchy exterior gives way to a warm, gooey filling that captures the essence of a classic cheesesteak, making these egg rolls a crowd-pleaser that’s easy to prepare and even easier to devour.

Instructions:

1. Cook the Steak and Vegetables:
   Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and green bell peppers, sautéing for about 5 minutes until they soften. If using mushrooms, add them at this stage and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the sliced steak. Season with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, cooking until the steak is browned and fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes. Mix the steak and vegetables together and remove from heat.
2. Prepare the Egg Rolls:
   Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointing towards you (like a diamond shape). Place a slice of provolone cheese or a couple of tablespoons of shredded cheese in the center of the wrapper, followed by a few spoonfuls of the steak and vegetable mixture.
3. Roll the Egg Rolls:
   Start by folding the bottom corner of the wrapper up over the filling. Then fold in the two side corners, making sure the filling is well enclosed. Roll up towards the top corner, using a little beaten egg along the edges to seal the wrapper. Repeat this process for all the wrappers and filling.
4. Fry the Egg Rolls:
   Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches, about 3-4 minutes each, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Transfer the cooked egg rolls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
5. Serve:
   Serve the Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls hot, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, or cheese sauce for added flavor.
