Ingredients

Scale

For the Egg Rolls

  • 1 lb ribeye steak, shaved/sliced thinly
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 11 egg roll wrappers, plus more if needed
  • 7 ounces (about 7 slices) provolone cheese, sliced in half
  • 1.5 quarts peanut oil, for frying (vegetable/canola oil as substitute)

For the Creamy Chipotle Dipping Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (preferably Duke’s)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 4 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Prep the chipotle sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients—mayonnaise, sour cream, chipotle peppers, lemon juice, garlic cloves, and salt—in a food processor or blender. Pulse until fully blended and smooth. Transfer to a jar or bowl, cover, and refrigerate while proceeding with the egg rolls.
  2. Prep the steak: Place the thinly sliced ribeye steak into a food processor and pulse a few times to break it down into a coarse ground steak texture. Avoid over-processing. Set aside on a plate.
  3. Make the egg roll filling – sauté vegetables: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and bell peppers, and sauté, stirring occasionally, until tender—about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the vegetables with a slotted spatula and set aside.
  4. Cook the steak: Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the same skillet. Once melted and sizzling, add the ground steak mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the steak is fully browned and cooked through. Sprinkle garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper over the meat. Stir to combine, then add Worcestershire sauce and mix well.
  5. Combine filling: Return the sautéed onions and peppers to the skillet with the cooked steak. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients. Remove skillet from heat and set aside.
  6. Assemble the egg rolls: Fill a small bowl with about 1/3 cup water. Place one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon 2 heaping tablespoons of the meat and vegetable mixture into the center, then top with half a slice of provolone cheese. Lightly wet the edges of the wrapper with water using your fingers. Fold in the edges and tightly roll the egg roll to seal. Place finished egg rolls on a tray and repeat.
  7. Fry the egg rolls: Heat peanut oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat to 350-370°F, using a deep-fry thermometer. Carefully add a few egg rolls at a time, avoiding overcrowding. Fry each batch for 2 to 3 minutes, turning occasionally for even browning until golden and crispy. Remove with tongs and drain on a wire rack over a baking sheet or paper towels. Maintain oil temperature between batches.
  8. Serve: Serve the hot, crispy Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls immediately with the creamy chipotle dipping sauce on the side and enjoy!

Notes

  • Read the full blog post for additional tips and tricks to perfect the recipe.
  • For air frying: Preheat air fryer to 400°F and lightly spray the basket with olive oil or cooking spray. Place egg rolls seam side down without touching. Spray tops lightly. Cook 8-10 minutes until golden, then turn and cook 2-4 minutes more. Serve immediately.
  • Use sharp cheddar or American cheese instead of provolone if preferred.
  • Carefully monitor oil temperature when frying to avoid greasy egg rolls.
  • Thinly slicing the steak and pulsing it gives a great texture similar to traditional Philly cheesesteak meat.
