Cheesesteak Egg Roll

Ditch the hoagie for these deep-fried sticks of cheesy, beefy goodness.

Supplies

  • 1 1/2 pounds ribeye
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces smoked gouda, shredded
  • Canola oil, for frying
  • 8 egg roll wrappers

Steps

  1. Place ribeye in freezer for 1 hour. Remove from freezer, and thinly slice.
  2. Whisk egg in a small bowl; set aside.
  3. In medium sauté pan over medium heat, add olive oil and onion. Sauté onion until translucent and soft, 5-6 minutes.
  4. Add ribeye and sauté until steak is slightly pink, about 5 minutes more. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  5. Add cheese and mix thoroughly until cheese begins to melt.
  6. Remove from heat, and strain in a fine mesh sieve if there is liquid in the pan.
  7. Let cool slightly.
  8. Add oil to a medium Dutch oven, filling 3/4 of the way to the top.
  9. Preheat oil to 360°F.
  10. Equally divide ribeye mixture in the center of each egg roll wrapper. Fold wrapper in about 1/2 inch on each side.
  11. Brush egg roll wrappers with egg wash. Roll up and seal edges.
  12. Place egg roll in oil, and fry for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, making sure to flip egg rolls while frying.
  13. Fry in batches to avoid over-crowding.
  14. Remove egg rolls to a paper-towel-lined plate. Serve hot.
