Meat and Vegetables
- 1 lb Beef Flank or Ribeye, thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
Seasoning and Cheese
- 1 tbsp salt, adjust to taste
- 1 tsp ground black pepper, adjust to taste
- 8 slices provolone cheese
Oil and Wrappers
- 2 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
- Oil for frying (enough to deep fry)
- 16 egg roll wrappers
- Slice the Beef: Slice the beef flank or ribeye into very thin strips and set aside for cooking.
- Sauté Vegetables: Dice the onion and green bell pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the diced vegetables and sauté just until softened. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Cook the Beef: Add the remaining oil to the same pan and increase heat to medium-high. Add the sliced beef and cook until golden brown. Return the sautéed vegetables to the pan, season with salt and black pepper, then remove from heat.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: On a clean work surface, place a couple of egg roll wrappers. In the center of each, place about one-third of a slice of provolone cheese followed by a portion of the beef and vegetable filling.
- Wrap the Egg Rolls: Fold the egg roll wrappers over the filling according to package instructions, sealing the edges tightly to prevent filling from leaking.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Preheat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Notes
- For best results, use thinly sliced ribeye or flank steak to mimic traditional Philly cheesesteak texture.
- You can substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella or American cheese slices according to preference.
- Adjust seasoning to taste before assembling the egg rolls.
- Maintain oil temperature at 350°F to ensure crispy egg rolls without excess grease absorption.
- Serve with dipping sauces such as ranch, marinara, or horseradish sauce for added flavor.
