Heat the butter in the pan. Put onion and bell pepper in the pan. Cook and stir until they turn brown, for about 5 to 7 minutes. Put the beef mixture back in the pan and mix it well. Let the filling cool down while you get the wrappers ready.
Place the egg roll wrappers on a flat surface. Put half a slice of American cheese on each one. Put 3 spoonfuls of the filling on each egg roll. Fold the bottom left corner over the filling and then fold the two sides in, wetting the edges with water as you do so. Roll the wrap tightly.
Heat 1 inch of oil in a big pot on medium-high heat. Put 3 to 4 egg rolls in the pan and cook until they turn golden brown, which should take around 3 to 4 minutes. Repeat with the rest of the egg rolls.
Advice for Making Delicious Philadelphia-style Egg Rolls:
Steak – You can also use rib eye or flank steak. You can use regular ground beef. Slice your steak into small pieces so it is easier to eat and will make you feel full.
Cheese – Replace the Monterey jack with slices of provolone, Swiss, or add some flavor with pepper jack cheese.
Peppers and onions – Add vibrant colors by using red, yellow, or orange peppers. Consider using a red onion and cut them into small pieces for easier consumption.
Wrappers – Don’t worry about wrapping your egg rolls. Normally, there are instructions on the back of the package. Use a little water on the edges to seal them well.
Sauces are perfect for dipping. There are countless options available. Try your favorite cheese sauce, ranch dressing, horseradish sauce, or BBQ sauce.
