Ingredients & Their Roles

For the Filling:

• 1 pound ground beef – The hearty, flavorful base. For a more traditional taste, use thinly sliced ribeye or flank steak.
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce – Adds depth, umami, and enhances the meat’s richness.
• ½ teaspoon salt – Essential for seasoning and balance.

For Assembling the Egg Rolls:

• 24 egg roll wrappers – Provide the crispy, golden shell that holds everything together.
• 12 slices American cheese – Creamy, melty, and classic to cheesesteaks.
• ¾ cup vegetable oil – Used for deep frying to achieve that signature crunch.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Filling

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and salt. Let simmer for 2 minutes, then remove from heat. Let the filling cool slightly before assembling.

Step 2: Prepare the Wrappers

Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Place half a slice of American cheese in the center, then add about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture.

Step 3: Roll the Egg Rolls

Fold the bottom corner up over the filling. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, sealing the top corner with a dab of water to help it stick. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 4: Fry Until Golden

In a deep skillet or fryer, heat ¾ cup vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot (350°F or shimmering), carefully add egg rolls in batches, turning to cook all sides. Fry for 2–3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Step 5: Drain and Serve

Transfer cooked egg rolls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let cool slightly before serving.

Pro Tips for Perfect Egg Rolls

• Don’t overfill – Too much filling can cause the wrappers to burst during frying.
• Use cold filling – Slightly cooled filling is easier to roll and keeps wrappers from getting soggy.
• Seal edges tightly – Use water to secure seams to prevent leaks while frying.
• Work in batches – Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain oil temperature and even crisping.
• Bake or air fry alternative – Brush with oil and bake at 400°F for 18–20 mins or air fry for a lighter version.
