Here's a fun and delicious recipe for Cheesesteak Egg Rolls – crispy, savory, and perfect for a snack or appetizer!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ribeye steak (or sirloin), thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded (or a mix of provolone and American cheese)
• 10-12 egg roll wrappers
• 1 egg (for sealing the egg rolls)
• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the filling:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the thinly sliced steak, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 2-3 minutes until browned but not overcooked. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside.
• In the same pan, add the onion and bell pepper (if using). Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
• Return the cooked steak to the pan with the onions and peppers, mix well, and remove from heat. Let the mixture cool slightly.
• Stir in the shredded cheese until it's well combined with the steak and vegetables.

2. Assemble the egg rolls:

• Place an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface, with one corner facing you (like a diamond shape).
• Spoon a generous amount of the cheesesteak filling into the center of the wrapper.
• Brush the edges of the wrapper with a little beaten egg to help seal it.
• Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to close the egg roll.
• Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.

3. Fry the egg rolls:

• Heat about 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer over medium-high heat (around 350°F or 175°C).
• Once the oil is hot, carefully add the egg rolls in batches, frying for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
• Use tongs to remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

4. Serve:

• Let the egg rolls cool for a couple of minutes before serving. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a dipping sauce like ketchup, ranch, or a cheese sauce!

Enjoy these crispy, cheesy cheesesteak egg rolls as a perfect appetizer or party snack!
