Who wouldn’t love a crisp, fried egg roll full of meat and cheese? These Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls are perfect for football games and parties!
Are Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls Gluten Free?
No, Philly Cheesesteak egg rolls are made with wheat wonton wrappers and stuffed with julienned peppers and onions basted in soy sauce (also not gluten free).
These Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls were delicious! I was trying to think up some kind of football food that I could make when mini phillys popped into my head, immediately followed by, “Oh my goodness, Philly Cheesesteak EGG ROLLS!”. That was it. I had to try to do it.
Can Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls be Made Ahead?
Philly Cheesesteak Egg rolls can be prepared ahead of time and frozen (both cooked and uncooked).
… You can prepare the wonton ahead of time up to the cooking stage and then refrigerate or freeze them (if you are refrigerating, prepare the wonton up to a day ahead of time).
Good appetizers and snacks for football games can get a little repetitive; who wants some meatballs, chips and dip and brownies? But these Philly Cheesesteak egg rolls, that’s blowing things out of the park.
Here’s a quick run down on exactly how to make them.
I have no way to force you to try these, but if I could I would. They are crunchy, cheesy, a little sweet and snappy from the peppers and a whole lot of juicy from the meat. PERFECTION.
Are Egg Roll Wrappers the Same as Won Ton Wrappers?
They are square sheets of yellowish dough made from wheat flour, egg and water.
The dough, basically an egg-noodle dough, is the same dough that Eggroll Wrappers are made from.
Wonton Wrappers, however, will only be about 3 1/2 inches (9 cm) across, about 1/4 the size of an Eggroll Wrapper.
We used leftover smoked tri tip that we had previously cooked up on our Traeger Pro Series, but we’ve also used the meat from our French Dip sandwiches and that turned out so awesome too. If you’re in a pinch, don’t stress, just use pre sliced deli meat and you’ll be just fine. Or you can also thinly slice the meat and cook it up in a pan in a matter of minutes.
Can Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls be Baked?
If you do not want to fry your egg rolls, they can be baked.
Lightly coat egg rolls with cooking spray, and place, seam side down, on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
Bake at 425° for 18 minutes or until golden brown.
Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls
This Le Creuset dutch oven is our choice for frying as it heats the oil evenly and the oil doesn’t get absorbed into the pan at all. We also choose to use peanut oil for frying as it holds up to heat better than other oils and has a good flavor for egg rolls.

These look delicious! I don’t understand about the Knorr tub. It isn’t listed in the ingredients.
marilyn halcomb
I think that a Knorr tub is what I call a bullion cube! I use these when I make chicken and dumplings! They are salty so be careful not to salt anything before tasting!!

I love knorr home style stock. I’ve used it quite a while now. I make my grandma’s chicken and dumplings, but now when I take the chicken out to debone it I add a tub of knorr chicken stock to mine and it gives an already fabulous dish I love and gives it an amazing flavor! Oh and I’m going to make these egg rolls! Can’t wait to try them.
Sweet Basil
Thanks for your comment Gayle!

What is a tri tip?
cathy zimmerman
The picture looks like chicken, is this a picture of the cheesesteak eggrolls?
renee
I was just wondering if these could be baked instead of fried??
They sound delish!
Sweet Basil
Absolutely. The texture isn’t exactly the same, but just brush them with oil first and then bake!
Dixie
Hi! I love the recipe and fully intend on making!! But was wondering what the “tub” of beef broth was and can or have you ever, used a different type of meat? Thank you for the recipe and I know my family will love them so thanks for a new family fav in this house:)
Sweet Basil
You could definitely use pork or chicken, but the flavor will be quite different. Knorr has little “tubs of beef broth. It’s condensed so it’s not liquid or granulated. If you want to sub broth you can add 1/4 cup beef broth.
