Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Thinly sliced sirloin steak | 1 lb |
| Large green bell pepper | 1 |
| Medium onion | 1 |
| Provolone cheese, sliced or shredded | 8 oz |
| Egg roll wrappers | About 8 |
| Egg, beaten | 1 |
| Montreal steak seasoning | Generous amount |

Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
Dice the green pepper and onion into small pieces and cook them in a skillet over medium heat until they begin to soften. Add the sliced sirloin and season generously with the steak seasoning. Continue cooking until the beef is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
Tip: Cooking over moderate heat gives the onions time to develop extra sweetness while softening the peppers, creating a filling that wraps easily without tearing the egg roll wrappers.
Step 2: Let the Filling Cool
Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for about 10 minutes before assembling.
Tip: Filling the wrappers with hot ingredients can create steam, making the wrappers soft and more likely to split during cooking.
Step 3: Assemble the Egg Rolls
Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Brush the edges with the beaten egg to help seal the wrapper. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the steak mixture into the center and top with a slice or small handful of provolone cheese.
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in both sides, and roll tightly toward the top corner. Press gently to seal.
Step 4: Choose Your Cooking Method
Deep Fry:
Cook in hot oil over medium heat for 3–4 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.
Air Fry:
Lightly coat the egg rolls with buttery cooking spray and air fry at 390°F for 12 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking.
Oven:
Arrange the egg rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 10–12 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
