Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls
Description
This recipe starts by browning ground beef with minimal breaking to yield pea-sized meat pieces for texture similar to sliced steak. The meat is seasoned with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Separately, onions and green bell peppers are caramelized in butter to develop sweetness and depth. The beef is recombined with the vegetables and cooled to ensure easier wrapper handling.
Assembly involves placing a half slice of American cheese and a measured portion of the meat-vegetable mixture on each egg roll wrapper. The wrappers are then folded carefully with moistened edges and rolled tightly to enclose the filling fully. Deep frying in canola oil keeps the exterior crisp and golden while warming the filling thoroughly.
Serving suggestion includes ensuring the egg rolls are not overcrowded in the frying pan to maintain oil temperature and avoid sticking. Wrappers should be kept covered when not in use to prevent drying. Cooling cooked egg rolls on plates rather than paper towels reduces sogginess from trapped steam. These egg rolls combine familiar Philly cheesesteak ingredients into a crunchy, handheld appetizer or snack option.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 yellow onion , chopped
- 1/2 green bell pepper , chopped
- 12 lices American cheese
- 24 egg roll wrappers
- water small bowl
- canola oil , for frying
Instructions
- Start by browning the beef in the skillet.
- Note: Try to brown without breaking up the meat too much, get a nice brown sear on the beef, then break apart as little as possible. (You want the meat to resemble a pea in size, you want to avoid taco meat consistency).
- Add the salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce, stir gently and remove from pan.
- Add the butter in the pan and add the chopped onions and green bell pepper, cooking until browned and caramelized.
- Once browned, add the meat back in and combine together.
- Let the mixture cool while you prepare your egg roll wrappers and cheese.
- Lay them on a flat surface and place a half a slice of American cheese on the wrapper.
- Add three tablespoons of the meat mixture on top of the cheese.
- Starting from the bottom left pull corner over the meat, then fold the two sides in.
- Wet the edges and roll tightly.
- Set a pan to heat with canola oil, about an inch high would do the trick.
- Add 3-4 egg rolls in them at once.
- Once they have browned, take them out and dry them on a cooling rack or brown paper bag.
Notes
- Keep egg roll wrappers covered when not assembling to prevent drying out and tearing.
- Do not overcrowd the oil while frying; this prevents the temperature from dropping and keeps the egg rolls crispy.
- Avoid cooling cooked egg rolls on paper towels or napkins to prevent steam buildup and sogginess.
