  • 1 pound minced meat
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 1/2 green pepper, chopped
  • 24 egg roll wrappers
  • 12 slices of American cheese
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

Step 1:
Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the beef, breaking it into small pieces (about the size of a pea) until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, and stir gently. Remove the mixture from the pan and set aside.

Step 2:
In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the chopped onions and peppers, cooking and stirring until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Return the beef mixture to the skillet and combine well. Allow the filling to cool while preparing the egg roll wrappers.

Step 3:
Lay the egg roll wrappers flat on a clean surface. Place half a slice of American cheese on each wrapper. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto each wrapper. Fold the lower corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, moistening the edges with water to seal. Roll tightly.

Step 4:
Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add 3 to 4 egg rolls at a time, frying until golden and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Repeat until all egg rolls are cooked.

  1. Use Fresh Wrappers: For the best texture, use fresh egg roll wrappers. If they’re too dry, they may crack when rolling.
  2. Cool the Filling: Let the beef and vegetable mixture cool slightly before wrapping to prevent the wrappers from becoming soggy.
  3. Don’t Overfill: Be careful not to overstuff the egg rolls. About 3 tablespoons of filling is perfect for each wrapper to ensure they cook evenly and stay sealed.
  4. Fry in Batches: To avoid overcrowding the pan, fry 3 to 4 egg rolls at a time. This ensures they cook evenly and get a crispy texture.
  5. Test Oil Temperature: Before frying, test the oil by dropping a small piece of the filling into it. If it sizzles and rises quickly, the oil is ready for frying.

In conclusion, Cheesesteak Egg Rolls offer a creative and flavorful twist on a beloved classic. With their crispy exterior and savory filling, they’re a perfect choice for any occasion, from casual gatherings to special events. Whether served as an appetizer or a snack, these egg rolls are sure to satisfy your taste buds and leave your guests wanting more.
