Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Philly Cheesesteak Filling
- Cook the Steak: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until the steak is browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add Onions and Peppers: Add sliced onions and bell peppers (if using) to the skillet. Sauté until softened and caramelized, about 5 minutes.
- Add Worcestershire Sauce: Drizzle Worcestershire sauce over the steak and vegetable mixture and stir well to combine. The Worcestershire sauce adds a savory depth of flavor.
- Melt the Cheese: Turn off the heat and place the chopped provolone cheese on top of the steak mixture. Cover with a lid and let the cheese melt for a minute, then stir to combine. The filling should be cheesy and gooey.
- Cool the Filling: Set the filling aside to cool slightly before assembling the eggrolls. This makes it easier to handle and prevents the wrappers from tearing.
Step 2: Assemble the Eggrolls
- Prepare the Wrapper: Lay an eggroll wrapper on a clean, dry surface in a diamond shape, with one corner pointing towards you.
- Add Filling: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cheesesteak filling onto the lower part of the wrapper, just above the corner closest to you.
- Fold the Wrapper: Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the two side corners, making sure the filling is fully enclosed.
- Seal the Wrapper: Brush a little bit of the beaten egg on the top corner, then roll the wrapper tightly to seal the eggroll. The egg acts as a glue to keep the wrapper closed.
- Repeat: Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling until you have 12 eggrolls ready to fry.
Step 3: Fry the Eggrolls
- Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) for frying.
- Fry the Eggrolls: Carefully place a few eggrolls at a time into the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain: Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggrolls from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Serve Warm: Arrange the eggrolls on a serving platter and serve with your favorite dipping sauce, like cheese sauce, ketchup, or spicy mayo.
- Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley or chives for a touch of color, if desired.
