Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

1. Heat 2 tsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

2. Add onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.

3. Push veggies to the side of the pan. Add thinly sliced steak and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce.

4. Cook steak until just browned, about 2–3 minutes (don’t overcook; it will cook more in the egg roll).

5. Combine steak and veggies in the pan and let cool slightly.

6. Stir in shredded cheese while still warm so it melts slightly.

Step 2: Assemble Egg Rolls

1. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing toward you (diamond shape).

2. Place ~2–3 tbsp of filling near the bottom corner.

3. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides.

4. Roll tightly toward the top corner. Seal the edge with a little beaten egg.

Tip: Don’t overfill, or the egg roll may burst while frying.

Step 3: Fry the Egg Rolls

Option 1: Deep Frying (crispiest)

1. Heat 2–3 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).

2. Fry egg rolls in batches, 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown.

3. Drain on paper towels.

Option 2: Oven-Baked (healthier)

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Brush egg rolls lightly with oil and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment.

3. Bake 15–20 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.

Step 4: Serve

• Let egg rolls cool for 1–2 minutes (cheese is hot!).

• Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips for Perfection

• Freeze leftover cooked steak for quick egg rolls later.

• For extra crispiness, double-fry egg rolls: fry 1–2 minutes, drain, then fry again for 1 minute.

• Experiment with cheeses: provolone gives classic Philly flavor; mozzarella makes it gooey.

If you want, I can also give you a shortcut version that uses leftover roast beef or pre-cooked steak—perfect if you want to make these in 15 minutes.
