Ingredients
Gather these essentials for a delicious batch:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- ½ green bell pepper, chopped
- 24 egg roll wrappers
- 12 slices American cheese
- ¾ cup vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to make your Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls:
- Prepare the Beef Filling: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook ground beef until browned, breaking it apart as little as possible. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir gently and remove from pan.
- Cook Vegetables: Melt butter in the skillet. Add chopped onion and bell pepper; cook until browned. Return beef mixture to the skillet and stir to combine. Let the filling cool while preparing the wrappers.
- Assemble Egg Rolls: Lay egg roll wrappers flat. Place half a slice of American cheese on each. Spoon 3 tablespoons of the beef filling onto each wrapper. Fold the bottom left corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly, moistening edges with water to seal.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Fry 3 to 4 egg rolls at a time until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
