Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 pound sirloin steak, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup shredded provolone or American cheese
• 12 egg roll wrappers
• Oil for frying (or spray for baking)

Directions:

1. Prepare the Filling:
   Begin by heating the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced sirloin steak, seasoning it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes, until it’s browned but still tender. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.
2. Sauté the Vegetables:
   In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook them over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until they’re softened and slightly caramelized. Return the cooked steak to the skillet, mixing the ingredients together thoroughly. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before assembling the egg rolls.
3. Assemble the Egg Rolls:
   Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface, positioning it with a corner pointing toward you. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the steak mixture and 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese into the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and then roll it up tightly. Seal the edge with a bit of water. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
4. Fry or Bake the Egg Rolls:
5. • To Fry: Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Fry the egg rolls in batches, cooking them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they’re golden brown and crispy. Drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
   • To Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the egg rolls on a baking sheet and spray them lightly with cooking oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until they’re golden and crispy.
