How to Make Justin Rowland’s Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 white onion, chopped
  • 12.5 ounces shaved ribeye meat
  • Garlic powder, to taste
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • 1 (14-ounce) package large egg roll wrappers
  • 4 slices white American cheese
  • 2 cups oil for frying, or as needed

Dipping Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 eggs

Directions:

  1. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in the olive oil and add the chopped onions. Cook for about 4 to 6 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes, until the onions are slightly crispy.
  2. Add the shaved ribeye meat to the skillet. Sprinkle in some garlic powder and season with salt and pepper. Keep cooking until the steak is fully cooked, about 10 minutes.
  3. Move the meat mixture to a large mixing bowl and let it cool slightly.
  4. Take an egg roll wrapper and place it on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Add a slice of cheese in the center and wet the corners with a bit of beaten egg.
  5. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the two side corners, and roll tightly to seal.
  6. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven to 350°F (180°C). Use a deep fry thermometer to check the temperature.
  7. Fry in batches, adding 2 to 3 egg rolls at a time to the hot oil. Don’t overcrowd the pot! Fry until golden brown, about 2 to 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. In the meantime, mix together the ketchup and mayonnaise in a bowl for your dipping sauce.
  9. Once cooled slightly, slice the egg rolls diagonally on a cutting board and serve with the dipping sauce.
