### **How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls**
#### **Step 1: Prepare the Filling**
1. **Cook the Steak**: Heat **1 tablespoon of olive oil** in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced steak to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s browned and cooked through. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside.
2. **Sauté Vegetables**: In the same skillet, add the remaining **1 tablespoon of olive oil**. Add the **onions** and **bell peppers** (if using), and sauté until softened and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Season with **garlic powder**, **onion powder**, **salt**, and **pepper**. Stir in the cooked steak and **soy sauce** (if using). Continue to cook for 1-2 more minutes to combine the flavors.
3. **Add Cheese**: Turn off the heat and sprinkle the shredded **cheese** over the steak and vegetable mixture. Stir until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined. Let this mixture cool slightly before filling the egg roll wrappers.
#### **Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls**
1. **Prepare the Wrappers**: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface, with one of the corners pointing toward you (like a diamond shape). Place about **2-3 tablespoons of the Philly cheesesteak mixture** near the center of the wrapper.
2. **Roll the Egg Rolls**: Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides to create a sealed packet. Brush the top corner with a little **beaten egg** to help seal the egg roll. Carefully roll the egg roll tightly, ensuring the filling is secure.
3. **Repeat**: Continue assembling the rest of the egg rolls until all the filling is used up.
#### **Step 3: Fry the Egg Rolls**
1. **Heat the Oil**: In a large pot or deep frying pan, heat about **2-3 inches of vegetable oil** over medium-high heat until it reaches **350°F (175°C)**. You can check the temperature by dropping a small piece of bread into the oil—if it browns in about 30 seconds, the oil is ready.
2. **Fry the Egg Rolls**: Carefully lower the egg rolls into the hot oil, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the egg rolls for about **3-4 minutes**, or until they’re golden brown and crispy on all sides. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to turn the egg rolls so they cook evenly.
3. **Drain**: Once the egg rolls are cooked, remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
#### **Step 4: Serve**
Serve the **Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls** with your favorite dipping sauces, such as **ranch dressing**, **marinara sauce**, or **buffalo sauce**. These egg rolls are perfect for game day, parties, or just a fun and flavorful meal!

### **Tips for Perfect Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls**
– **Choose the Right Meat**: Ribeye is the classic choice for Philly cheesesteaks, as it’s tender and flavorful. However, you can substitute it with sirloin or flank steak if you prefer.
– **Don’t Overfill**: Be sure to not overstuff the egg rolls, as they can burst open while frying. A little filling goes a long way.
– **Bake Instead of Frying**: If you prefer a lighter version, you can bake the egg rolls instead of frying them. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), brush the egg rolls with a little oil, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
