What Do You Use as the Eggroll Wrapper
When you are making these cheesesteak egg rolls you want to use egg roll wrappers. You can find these in the produce section, usually located where the tofu is. You can use wonton wrappers, which are smaller and would make very small versions of the egg rolls.
What Cheese Goes in Cheese Steaks
I am using provolone for my cheesesteak egg roll. Some people will use American cheese or you can also use cheddar cheese or cheddar cheese sauce.
What’s the Best Beef for a Philly Cheesesteak?
When you live around Philly, you know what is considered a good steak sandwich. Some people when they are making cheesesteaks will use frozen steak meat like Steakums. While this is an inexpensive option as well as a convenient option, it does not make a great tasting sandwich. You will want to use flank steak or shaved rib-eye for the best steak.
Can I Make it With Ground Beef
You can technically make the Philly Cheesesteak Egg Roll with ground beef, but you are going to be missing the flavor of the actual cheesesteak. When you sauté the ground beef, onions, peppers and seaoning over medium high heat in a large skillet, you can get a similar flavor. I like to add Worcestershire sauce for a little bit extra. If you want to make this recipe on a budget, this is the way to go for a similar taste.
How to Store Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls
You can store Philly cheesesteak egg rolls in the fridge for up to four days. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap so they don’t dry out. You can also freeze them for up to three months. Just thaw them overnight in the fridge before reheating.
To reheat, just pop them in the oven at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes or until heated through. You can also reheat them in the microwave, but they may get a little soggy. So if you are looking for that perfect crispy bite, the oven is your best bet. Enjoy!
Why are There Peppers in the Cheesesteak
If you are from around Philly, you know that there are no peppers in the cheesesteak. People are very firm on they just don’t belong. But for some reason the rest of the country love to add green bell peppers to the filing. With that in mind, I am including peppers. For locals, while it isn’t the way it is supposed to be the peppers add a lot of flavor so it isn’t that bad.
What is the Best Dipping Sauce
There are so many great dipping sauces for egg rolls. Typically I would dip my Philly Cheesesteak Eggrolls in ketchup or ranch dressing. However, you can really use any type of sauce that you like. BBQ sauce, sweet and sour sauce, marinara sauce, or even soy sauce. Just plain old hot sauce or mayo and hot sauce work great too. I actually love Sweet Chili & Dil Pickle Honey Mustard too.
What if I Want to Fry the Egg Rolls
If you want to fry the egg rolls, you can. Just heat up some oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the egg rolls a few at a time and cook for about 2 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on a paper towel and serve with dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Can Philly Cheesecake Egg Rolls Be Made in the Air Fryer
Yes. You can make these in the Air Fryer. I use the same process to make these cheesesteak eggrolls in the air fryer as I do when I make the Air Fryer Ham and Cheese Egg Roll. Place the egg rolls into the air fryer basket. Spray egg rolls with cooking spray oil. Fry at 375 degrees for 3-4 minutes, turn and cook 3-4 additional minutes. As machines vary, cook times may vary.

How Many Weight Watchers Points in Cheesesteak Eggrolls
Cheesesteaks are not normally considered a low point food. That is because oftentimes it is made with fatty ingredients and the roll alone is full of points. I am using flower fat meat and using egg roll wrappers so you can easily enjoy this recipe without worrying about the points. Each cheesesteak egg roll comes in at 3 points when you use reduced fat provolone and make sure your ribeye beef is lean.
