I threw these egg rolls together on a Sunday when I was craving something new for football day. Now everyone begs for them at get-togethers since they mix two favorites into one awesome snack. Anytime I whip these up, the house smells like frying steak and peppers with melty cheese wrapped in the crispiest shell.

Unforgettable Crowd-Pleaser From My Home

You get all the Philly cheesesteak goodness in these handheld snacks. The steak comes out juicy, the cheese melts perfectly, and that wrapper’s always crunchy. I like how simple it is to switch things up, and it’s the best watching everyone dig into these crunchy treats.

What To Buy

  • Egg Roll Wrappers: Check for these near the veggies at the store.
  • Butter: Brings out all the rich flavors.
  • Provolone Cheese: Melts right inside each roll.
  • Onion: For that extra flavor kick.
  • Green Bell Pepper: Keeps things fresh and snappy.
  • Rib Eye Steak: Dice it up small so it fits the roll just right.

Time To Cook Up Something Tasty

Baking Option:
Want to skip frying? Brush a bit of oil and toss them in the oven, they come out crispy too.
Fry the Egg Rolls:
Drop them in hot oil until they’re all golden and crisp, then set on paper towels to drain.
Assemble the Egg Rolls:
Fill each wrapper with steak, cheese, and veggies, then roll up tight and pinch the sides closed.
Prepare the Filling:
Heat up your pan and toss in steak, onions, and peppers with butter till it all smells amazing.

My Favorite Handy Hints

Dicing up everything real small makes rolling way less messy and each bite even better. If you don't have rib eye, try a different beef cut. My hack is to roll a bunch ahead of the party, then fry them up so they're piping hot when folks show up.

What To Serve On The Side

We dunk ours into ranch, horseradish dip, or gooey cheese sauce. Seriously, they're awesome on their own, but even more fun when there's a big snack table. Don't be surprised if you end up making extras—these vanish fast!

Storing and Reheating

Save uncooked ones in the fridge (just cover them up) for a day before frying. Leftover fried rolls? Pop them in the oven so they become crispy again. Avoid the microwave or they'll lose that crunch everyone loves.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I prep the rolls ahead of time?

Sure! You can make the filling and roll them up to 24 hours early. Keep them in the fridge, using wax paper to separate. Fry just before eating for the best crunch!

→ How do I reheat leftover egg rolls?

Reheat in the oven or an air fryer at 350°F for 5-7 minutes for the best crunch. Don't microwave them—they'll end up soggy. Use a wire rack to keep them crisp all around.

→ Can I substitute ribeye with other cuts?

If you don't have ribeye, go with sirloin or strip steak. Slice thinly against the grain and cook lightly to keep it tender. Avoid tougher cuts like chuck or round steak.

→ What dips pair with these rolls?

Try ranch, cheese sauce, or chipotle mayo. Marinara works too, and horseradish or garlic aioli can add an exciting kick!

→ How do I keep the rolls from breaking when frying?

Don't overstuff the rolls, and make sure they're sealed well with water. Keep oil at 350°F to avoid bursts. Fry in small batches—3 to 4 at a time max.

→ Can I cook these in an air fryer?

Definitely! Spray them with cooking oil and air fry at 375°F for 12-15 minutes. Flip halfway for an even crispy finish with less grease than frying.

Cuisine: American

Yield: 12 Servings (12 rolls)

Dietary: Low-Carb

Ingredients

01 1 green bell pepper, diced.
02 1/2 cup chopped onions.
03 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter.
04 1 pound rib eye steak, boneless and sliced thin.
05 Salt and black pepper as needed.
06 6 slices of provolone cheese.
07 12 egg roll sheets.
08 Frying oil, like canola or vegetable.
09 Optional: Ranch dressing for dipping.

Instructions

Step 01

Warm half the butter in a big skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions and peppers for 3-4 minutes until soft, then take them out and set aside.

Step 02

In the same pan, melt the rest of the butter. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the steak and cook for 3-4 minutes, letting it brown nicely.

Step 03

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

Step 04

Spread out the egg roll sheets. Put half a slice of cheese right in the center of each sheet.

Step 05

Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the steak mixture onto each wrapper. Seal them up as instructed on the package, using a little water to stick the edges together.

Step 06

Pour oil into a deep pan, enough for frying, and heat it up to 350°F.

Step 07

Fry 3-4 rolls together, flipping them until they're golden, about 3-5 minutes total.

Step 08

Let the rolls drain on some paper towels. Enjoy them with ranch or any dipping sauce you like!

  1. You can bake these at 425°F for 15-20 minutes as an alternative.
  2. Don’t overstuff the wrappers when filling them.
