Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls

Ingredients:

  • 12-14 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 egg (whisked with 1 tablespoon water)
  • 1 quart canola or vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Steak Marinade
    • 1 pound top sirloin or flank steak (thinly sliced across the grain)
    • 1/3 cup zesty Italian dressing
    • 1 small onion (chopped)
    • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
    • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon pepper
    • ¼-½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Filling
    • 8 ounces mushrooms (sliced)
    • 1 green pepper (sliced)
    • 1-2 jalapeños (deveined, seeded and sliced)
    • 2 cups Mexican cheese blend or Pepper Jack cheese (shredded)

Directions

Marinate steak with steak marinade ingredients for 1 hour up to overnight.

Heat a large skillet on high heat until very hot. Add steak/onions/marinade and let cook on one side without disturbing, then proceed to cook until meat is cooked through. Transfer meat and onions to a fine hole strainer/sieve and remove any excess liquid by pressing down on the meat mixture. Set aside.

Wipe out skillet and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Heat over medium high heat then add mushrooms. Sauté for 3-5 minutes or until golden. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Heat another tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat and add green pepper and jalapeno. Saute for 1 minute.

Add green peppers, jalapenos, mushrooms and steak/onions to a food processor and pulse a few times until roughly chopped. Alternatively, you can chop by hand.

Position an egg roll wrapper with one point towards you. Line the center with 2 tablespoons cheese and top with ¼ cup steak mixture. Fold bottom corner over filling then continue to roll up, firmly folding sides toward center over filling as you roll. Seal edges with egg wash. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

To Fry (recommended for extra crispiness)

Heat oil in a stock pot or deep-fat fryer to 350° F degrees or medium high heat.

Fry egg rolls, in batches, 3-4 at a time until golden brown, turning egg rolls a few times while frying. Drain on paper towels.

To Bake

Lightly spray a baking rack and place it onto a baking sheet. Line egg rolls on baking rack and lightly spray with cooking spray. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden at 425° F degrees.

Serve with your favorite cheese sauce, chili sauce or barbecue sauce with hot sauce to taste.
