Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling:

• In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
• Add the sliced onions and bell peppers, sautéing until they are tender and caramelized (about 5-7 minutes).
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.

1. Cook the Steak:

• In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced steak. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through, stirring frequently.
• Combine the cooked steak with the sautéed onions and peppers. Mix well to ensure the flavors meld together.
• Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before adding the cheese.

1. Assemble the Egg Rolls:

• Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing towards you.
• Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the steak and cheese filling onto the wrapper.
• Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly to enclose the filling, sealing the top corner with a bit of water (or egg wash) to help it stick.
• Repeat this process until all the filling is used.

1. Fry or Bake the Egg Rolls:

• For frying: Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to about 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
• For baking: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the egg rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with oil and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

1. Serve:

• Let the egg rolls cool slightly before serving. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauces for an added burst of flavor!
