The Best philly steak egg roll recipe

I have been making Philly steak egg rolls for years, and my family loves them. They are a staple in our household, especially during the holidays when we have large gatherings.

The dish is easy to make and can be customized to suit your taste. I like to use thinly sliced steak, which is tender and flavorful.

The egg roll wrappers are a great way to add a fun twist to the traditional Philly cheesesteak. My kids love helping me assemble the rolls, and it’s a great way to get them involved in cooking.

The best part is that you can serve these rolls at any occasion, whether it’s a casual weeknight dinner or a special occasion. They’re also a great option for potlucks or picnics because they’re easy to transport and serve.

One of the reasons I love this recipe is that it’s relatively healthy compared to other Philly cheesesteak recipes. By using thinly sliced steak and egg roll wrappers, we reduce the amount of cheese and calories in each roll.

Additionally, the egg roll wrappers provide a nice crunch and texture that complements the tender steak perfectly.

Watch Video Of How Philly Steak Egg Rolls Works

These Philly steak egg rolls have become a staple in my house for good reason. They combine the classic flavors of a cheesesteak with the fun crunch of a fried appetizer that works for any occasion. Whether you serve them at a party for a crowd or just for a family dinner they always disappear fast.

To store leftovers place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat them in an air fryer at 350 degrees for about five minutes to bring back the crispiness. You can also reheat them in a regular oven at 375 degrees for ten minutes.

For serving ideas try them with a side of sweet potato fries or a simple green salad to round out the meal. They also make great lunch wraps if you skip the frying and just warm them up in a skillet. I hope your family loves them as much as mine does.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Philly Steak Egg Rolls

1. Can I use a different type of meat for this recipe?

Yes you can use thinly sliced beef sirloin or even leftover roast beef if you have it. Ground beef also works but you will want to drain the fat well before adding the vegetables. Chicken or turkey can be substituted for a lighter option just cook it through before adding the other ingredients.

2. How do I prevent the egg rolls from getting soggy?

Make sure your filling is not too wet before rolling. Cook down the onions and peppers until most of the moisture evaporates. Also drain any excess liquid from the cooked meat. Frying at the right temperature around 350 degrees helps seal the wrapper quickly and keeps the inside from making the shell soggy.

3. Can I make these ahead of time and freeze them?

Yes you can assemble the egg rolls and place them on a baking sheet in the freezer until solid. Then transfer them to a freezer bag for up to three months. Fry them straight from frozen adding a couple extra minutes to the cooking time. You can also bake them from frozen at 400 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes.

4. What dipping sauces go well with Philly steak egg rolls?

I like to serve them with ketchup or a spicy mayo made with sriracha and mayonnaise. Some people enjoy ranch dressing or a simple cheese sauce. You can also make a quick au jus by mixing beef broth with a little Worcestershire sauce for dipping.

5. How do I roll the egg rolls properly so they don’t open during frying?

Place the wrapper in a diamond shape with one corner pointing toward you. Add filling in the center then fold the bottom corner up over the filling. Fold in the sides and roll tightly toward the top corner. Use a little water or beaten egg to seal the final corner. Make sure the roll is snug but not too tight or it might burst.
