Ingredients

Scale

Egg Roll Filling

  • 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

Frying

  • 1.5 quarts peanut oil, for frying (vegetable or canola oil as substitute)

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 the mayonnaise, sour cream, chipotle peppers, lemon juice, garlic cloves, and kosher salt in a food processor or blender. Pulse until fully combined and smooth, ensuring the chipotle peppers are completely blended. Transfer the sauce to a jar or bowl, cover, and refrigerate while preparing the egg rolls.
  2. Prep the steak: Place the shaved or thinly sliced ribeye steak in a food processor and pulse a few times to break down the steak into a more ground meat texture. Set the processed steak aside on a plate.
  3. Make the egg roll filling: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. When the butter is sizzling, add the chopped onions and both green and red bell peppers. Sauté the vegetables until tender, about 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use a slotted spatula to transfer the cooked veggies to a clean bowl or plate and set aside.
  4. Cook the steak: Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the same skillet and melt over medium heat. Add the ground steak and cook until fully browned and cooked through. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper, stirring well to combine. Then add Worcestershire sauce and mix again.
  5. Combine filling ingredients: Return the sautéed onions and peppers to the skillet with the cooked steak mixture. Stir everything together well, then remove the skillet from heat and set aside for assembling the egg rolls.
  6. Assemble the egg rolls: Fill a small bowl with about 1/3 cup of water. Place one egg roll wrapper on a flat surface and scoop 2 heaping tablespoons of the meat mixture into the center. Top with half a slice of provolone cheese. Lightly wet all four edges of the wrapper with the water to help seal. Fold in the edges and then carefully roll the egg roll into a tight log, tucking in the filling as you go to seal completely. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  7. Fry the egg rolls: Heat the peanut oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat to 350–370°F, using a deep-fry thermometer to monitor. Fry egg rolls in batches, avoiding overcrowding, turning occasionally with tongs for even browning. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2–3 minutes per batch. Drain cooked egg rolls on a wire rack set over a baking sheet or on paper towels. Maintain oil temperature during frying.
  8. Serve: Serve the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls immediately with the prepared creamy chipotle dipping sauce and enjoy the perfect appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • For an alternative cooking method, air fry the egg rolls: preheat the air fryer to 400°F and lightly spray the basket with olive oil or cooking spray. Place egg rolls seam side down in the basket without touching. Spray the tops with cooking spray. Cook for 8–10 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook an additional 2–4 minutes. Serve immediately.
  • Make sure not to overfill the egg roll wrappers so they seal well and don’t burst during frying.
  • Use freshly grated or sliced provolone cheese for the best melt and flavor.
  • This recipe makes approximately 11 egg rolls depending on the wrapper size and filling amount.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and Worcestershire sauce, as needed.
  • Use a thermometer when frying to maintain proper oil temperature for crispiness without being greasy.
  • Let the chipotle sauce chill to develop flavor before serving.
