Philly cheesesteak egg rolls are probably the best appetizer hands down. I'll order these at any
restaurant I go to, but most don't have them. So I usually got to make them myself. These things is
loaded with steak and cheese and finished off with this sweet chili sauce. Perfect app. Let me show
you guys exactly how to make them. All right. So for a good cheesesteak egg roll, all you need is
a really good piece of steak, high quality meat. So I got a ribeye here. That's really good marble.
You can use a sirloin, New York strip, whatever you want to do, but I prefer ribeye.
Steak and cheese, of course, you're going to have onions, cheese and the steak. I like to
use these dynasty egg roll wraps. You can use the vegan ones, but to me those break apart too much.
I actually like these. They fry really well. All right. And I got one more ingredient for y'all.
Hold up. I'm going to really make the Philly people mad with this one
because I'm putting some peppers in mine. Y'all better argue with your mother.
All right. So first thing I did was put my steak into the freezer for about an hour.
That way it'll firm up and it'll be a lot easier for me to cut.
So with a sharp knife, shout out to my guy, I'm just going to cut as many thin strips as I can.
Right. You almost want to shave the ribeye. I mean, like really shaved this big old fatty piece
was going to give me a lot of work to cut off. So I'm just going to take that,
trim that off. Let me make this a little easier for myself to cut. All right. But
slice as thin as we can. So you can get the pre-shaved steak from the store,
but I actually prefer shaving it myself. To me, it tastes better. The pre-shaved one in the store.
I don't know what cut of steak that is, but it ain't the best one you can get,
but you see how thin that is. All right. So now that we got the long strips,
just take everything, just give them one more good chop, make it easy to cook.
All right. So yeah, pretty much now I'm going to just prep the veggies. I just want to cut
these peppers up into slices and then dice them so that they mirror almost the same size of the
steak after I cook it down. Get your peppers. You can lay it flat. Just slice it first.
After you slice it, make sure you keep your fingers tucked. After you slice it,
turn it on its side and give it a good dice. I like to dice mine up pretty small
because I'd rather get a lot of steak and less pepper in every bite. Just like that. Do the
same thing with the red peppers and the onion, and then you'll be good to go. All right. So I
got my baby Cassie right here. Nice cast iron skillet, black and beautiful. You know what I'm
saying? And we're going to turn this on medium high heat and then sear the steak up. All right.
So once the pan is nice and spooky, that means it's hot, ready to go. We're going to go ahead
and add some avocado oil. All right. And you can tell it's not too hot because the oil is running.
It's not popping all over the place. I'm going to go right in with that steak.
I'm spreading the steak across the bottom of the pan just to make sure that
it covers the surface area of the pan and everything browns about even.
Now that I see the color coming up from the bottom of the steak, I'm going to give it a good mix.
Now I can move it around. You see it's not sticking too much. If your food sticks, even though you
have a hot pan with a lot of oil in it, that means it's not ready to release from the bottom of the
pan. Just let it do its thing. When it's ready to release, it will, I promise. So we're about 75%
of the way through. I'm going to go ahead and add these veggies. Get those all mixed in.
The reason I don't start with the veggies is because I want the steak to stir first
because the veggies are going to add a lot of moisture, which is going to take away from that
sear. It's not going to allow the meat to get brown. Now that we added the veggies,
I'm going to go in here with a little bit of Worcestershire sauce. Just a couple of dashes.
Let's go on here with that cheese that we shredded up. I'm just going to get that
added just like that. You can turn the heat off at this point and just get that cheese all mixed in.
Look at that. That pepper jack is a really good stringy cheese. It melts really well.
It's got a lot of flavor to it. And if you're looking for that cheese pull, look, you already
got it. All right. So now that our steak mixture cooled off a little bit, we're going to go ahead
and start the wrapping process. So what I have here is these egg roll wraps that we talked about
earlier, the Dynasty ones. I have some American cheese. I made a cornstarch slurry so that we
can seal the egg rolls when they're done. And I'm going to finish with a little bit of mozzarella
and provolone just so we get a little extra cheese pull after we wrap them. Let's get started.
All right. So the first thing I'm going to do is lay down this American cheese. I'm only using
half a slice of this American cheese. That processed cheese is a must. I'm telling y'all
right now. All right. Scoop that cheesesteak mixture into there and spread it out the length
of that American cheese. Right. The American cheese is going to give it the creaminess
and it's mozzarella cheese. Mozzarella and provolone mixture is going to help to give us
that cheese pull. All right. So we're going to take that cornstarch slurry.
Let me mix it up my finger a little bit. Pause that. But
we're going to get that on all the edges of the egg roll. All right. This is like the hardest
part. People always complain, like, how do I wrap an egg roll? How do I wrap an egg roll?
I'm going to show you right now. All right. So with the egg roll, you got the four corners.
What you're going to do is take two of the two of the middle corners and bring them to the middle
of the egg roll just over that cheese mixture. Right. You're going to pull a bottom that's
closest to you and tuck that over the entire cheesesteak mixture. Right. And these are fragile.
So you want to be very careful, but you want to tuck and kind of pull towards you a little bit.
Right. You're just tucking that mixture into the egg roll to make sure nothing seeps out.
So you still got these edges exposed. What I'm going to do is hit it with a little bit more
cornstarch slurry. Tuck and roll. Tuck and roll. All right. Just keep remembering that.
Tuck and roll. If y'all paid attention to this, this much of the video,
just go ahead and comment down below. Tuck and roll. All right. So the next person y'all see
in the comments asks, how can you roll an egg roll? Tuck and roll. Tuck and roll, baby. Look at that.
Look how easy that is. Tucking everything inside the egg roll wrap. It's going to be nice and tight.
Nothing exposed because we use that cornstarch slurry and just look at that thing right there.
Y'all see that? Come on now. Perfect egg roll every time. So I'm going to put this over here
onto this parchment lined baking sheet so that they don't stick together and they also don't
dry out too much. All right. Now that our oils heated up to 350, we're going to take our egg
rolls and just drop them. I like to use a wok just so I can slide them right in. I don't just have
to lay them and worry about the oil popping everywhere. Look at that. That's perfect right
there. So I'm going to probably put three in at a time. All right. Don't want to overcrowd.
I'm just moving them around a little bit, not agitating them too much, but just to make sure
that they don't stick to each other or stick to the bottom of the skillet either. All right. So
once these things are done, I'm going to just take it and slice it at an angle or on a bias,
however you want to do it. You can slice it in the middle, but I'm going to do mine like that.
I told y'all this is the truth right here.
