Ingredients for Cheesesteak Egg Rolls
- Olive Oil: Is used for sautéing the onion, bell pepper, and garlic, allowing them to develop a deep, caramelized flavor that forms the aromatic base of this dish.
- Onion (Diced): Provides a sweet and slightly sharp flavor that enhances the overall taste of the egg rolls.
- Green Bell Pepper (Diced): Adds a fresh, slightly sweet crunch that complements the soft textures of the other ingredients.
- Garlic (Minced): Infuses the dish with its characteristic pungent and spicy flavor, giving the egg rolls a delectable depth of taste.
- Worcestershire Sauce: Adds a tangy, umami-rich flavor that heightens the savory taste of the beef.
- Beef Eye Round Steak (Diced): Is the star protein of the dish, providing a hearty, meaty flavor and satisfying chewiness.
- Salt and Pepper: Enhance the natural flavors of the ingredients, bringing out their best characteristics.
- Monterey Jack Cheese (Finely Shredded): Melts into a creamy, gooey delight, adding a rich, savory note that pairs perfectly with the beef.
- Egg Roll Wraps: Hold all the ingredients together and, when air-fried, they become wonderfully crispy, providing an excellent contrast to the savory filling inside.
How to Make a Cheesesteak Egg Rolls?
In a saucepan over med-high, add oil. Add to your hot saucepan or bell pepper and onions. Sauté for 3 to 5 minutes until softened.
Add in minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, steak, salt, and pepper. Sauté and cook until your meat is browned. Drain juice for an au jus. Set aside.
Layout the egg roll wrapper in the position of a diamond. Place 2 to 3 spoonsful of meat in the center of the wrapper. Add 2 tbsp of your shredded cheese.
Lightly wet the edge of the wrapper with water. I like using a sponge brush. Makes it super-efficient! Fold left and right corners into the center. Fold the bottom corner and roll the egg rolls shut, squeezing the air out as you roll.
Lightly wet the exposed corner to seal it down.
Spray the air fryer basket with oil and place the egg rolls in the basket. Spray rolls with oil.
Cook for 8 minutes at 380°F, flipping halfway. Cook until egg rolls are crispy and golden brown on all sides.
Let cool for 5-10 minutes before you eat.
