Ingredients:
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 large green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 pound thinly sliced beefsteak
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions:
- In a large skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until softened, approximately 5 minutes.
- Add the thinly sliced beef to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the provolone cheese until fully melted. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
- Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean work surface, with one corner facing you.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the beef and cheese mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
- Roll the wrapper tightly around the filling, folding in the sides as you go. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- In a large, deep saucepan, heat approximately 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
- Working in batches, carefully add the egg rolls to the hot oil and fry until they turn golden brown and crispy, which usually takes about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls while hot, accompanied by your preferred dipping sauce.
