Ingredients
To make Crispy Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls, you will need the following ingredients:
– 1 pound of thinly sliced steak
– 1 onion, thinly sliced
– 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
– 8 slices of provolone cheese
– 8 egg roll wrappers
– 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
Steps by Step Instructions
1. Start by heating a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the sliced steak to the skillet and cook until it is browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.
3. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil and sauté the sliced onion and green bell pepper until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
4. Lay out an egg roll wrapper and place a slice of provolone cheese in the center. Top the cheese with a portion of the cooked steak, followed by some of the sautéed onion and bell pepper mixture.
5. Fold the bottom corner of the egg roll wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll the egg roll tightly, sealing the edges with a bit of water.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 with the remaining egg roll wrappers and filling.
7. In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Carefully add the egg rolls to the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
8. Serve the Crispy Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sriracha mayo or cheese sauce.
Keto and Low Carb Variations
If you are following a keto or low carb diet, you can easily modify this recipe to fit your dietary needs. Instead of using egg roll wrappers, you can use lettuce leaves as a wrap for the filling. Simply wrap the cooked steak, sautéed onion and bell pepper mixture, and a slice of cheese in a large lettuce leaf and secure with toothpicks. This will give you all the flavors of a Philly cheesesteak without the carbs from the egg roll wrapper.
Tips
– Make sure to thinly slice the steak, onion, and bell pepper to ensure even cooking and easier rolling.
– If you prefer a spicier version, you can add some thinly sliced jalapenos to the filling mixture.
– Experiment with different types of cheese to customize the flavor of your egg rolls. Swiss, cheddar, or pepper jack would all be delicious options.
– Serve the egg rolls immediately after frying to enjoy them at their crispiest.
