Ingredients
For the Egg Rolls:
1 lb ribeye steak, thinly sliced
1 package provolone & mozzarella blend, shredded
4 oz Philadelphia cream cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)
1 yellow onion, chopped
8 oz mushrooms, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 package egg roll wrappers
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 egg, for egg wash
Neutral frying oil, for deep-frying
For the Philly Cheesesteak Marinade:
½ tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon crushed rosemary
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Directions
Marinate the Steak:
In a large bowl, mix the marinade ingredients:
Baking soda
Vinegar
Sugar
Garlic salt
Onion powder
Crushed rosemary
Worcestershire sauce
Add the thinly sliced ribeye steak to the marinade and toss to coat thoroughly.
Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to tenderize and enhance the flavors.
Sauté the Steak & Vegetables:
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over high heat.
Add the marinated steak and cook for 3-5 minutes until browned but juicy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté the onion, mushrooms, and bell pepper for 3-4 minutes, until softened and slightly caramelized.
Combine the cooked steak and sautéed veggies in a mixing bowl.
Fill & Wrap the Egg Rolls:
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface in a diamond shape. Brush the edges lightly with egg wash.
Spoon a portion of the steak and vegetable mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
Add a generous sprinkle of the shredded cheese and a small dollop of cream cheese (optional).
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly, sealing the top corner with egg wash.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Deep-Fry the Egg Rolls:
Heat neutral frying oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the egg rolls in small batches (2-3 at a time) for 3-4 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
Serve:
Serve the egg rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as Cowboy Butter, ranch dressing, or a tangy and spicy condiment.

Pro Tips:
For extra crispiness, avoid overfilling the wrappers and ensure they are tightly sealed before frying.
If you prefer baking, brush the egg rolls with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway.
Leftovers? Reheat in an air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 350°F (175°C) for a crispy refresh!
