Let’s Get Cooking!
Step-by-Step Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ribeye steak, onion, and green bell pepper, cooking until the steak is browned and the veggies are tender, around 5-7 minutes. Oh, the smell is amazing already! Add a couple pinches of salt and pepper while you’re at it. Stir occasionally until the onions are translucent.
Now, remove the skillet from heat and stir in the provolone cheese until it’s all ooey-gooey and melted. This step? Critical.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot over medium-high heat until it’s hot (about 350°F). Be careful! Fry the egg rolls in batches until they’re golden brown and crispy, which should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
Drain the egg rolls on paper towels and serve them hot! Maybe with a side of marinara or dipping sauce? Yum!

Serving and Storage Tips
How to Serve This Recipe
Serve your Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls with some spicy mustard or a marinara sauce on the side. They also pair deliciously with a fresh salad or a side of fries for that ultimate dinner combo!
Storage
These egg rolls are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheating Instructions
To get that crispy exterior back, reheat them in the oven for about 10 minutes at 375°F. Remember, the microwave makes them soggy, so avoid that one, if you can!
Freezer Friendly
Yes! You can freeze these egg rolls before frying, just make sure they’re laid out on a baking sheet in a single layer to freeze them. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready, no thawing needed! Just fry straight from the freezer, adding an extra minute or two to the cooking time.

I’m a real sucker for anything that combines crispy and creamy, and these egg rolls are the perfect family comfort meal.

Tips for Success
Stay Organized
Lay out all your ingredients before getting started. It makes the process smoother (and less messy!).
Avoid Soggy Egg Rolls
Make sure to cool the filling before placing it into the wrappers to prevent moisture.
Don’t Rush Frying
Give the egg rolls enough room in the hot oil. Fry them in batches to keep the temperature consistent, which means they’ll come out crispy!
Use a Thermometer
If you can, use a candy thermometer to monitor that oil temperature. Too hot? You’ll burn them. Too cool? They’ll be greasy.
FAQ
Can I use a different type of meat?
Absolutely! You can swap the ribeye for chicken, turkey, or even a vegetarian option like tofu.
What dipping sauces work with this?
I love a spicy ranch or classic marinara, but honestly, you can go with any favorite sauce you enjoy!
Can I bake these instead of frying?
You can bake them! Brush them lightly with oil and bake at 425°F for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Do egg rolls freeze well?
Yes! Just prep them uncooked, freeze, and fry later without thawing!
