Okay, so Philly Cheesesteaks Egg Rolls were never on my short list of “must-make” recipe for my blog.  But then, on that fateful Superbowl night, I was in attendance at my usual all-fried-food party and these babies made their grand debut.  I was in love.  I had to have the recipe.  I MUST MAKE THEM AT HOME.Luckily, the party host obliged me and told me how she made them.  Despite my unnatural fear of making egg rolls (how the heck do you roll them up?  How do people make each roll look so identical and perfect?), I took the plunge and recreate the recipe at home.

It a super simple, make-ahead appetizer too!  Aside from the time commitment-you will have to caramelize onions, cook beef, let it cool and then roll the egg rolls-everything can be done in advance of your party and fried before guests arrive.  Just keep them warm in a low oven until you’re ready to serve!

The recipe is quite easy like I said: onions are caramelized for 45ish minutes, then thinly sliced sirloin steak is cooked in the same skillet nonetheless.  Place a slice of American cheese in the center of the egg roll wrapper, stuff with the filling and roll!  But how do you make an egg roll look like, well, an egg roll?  I watched this YouTube video, which was immensely helpful as this was not my initial plan of attack.  After rolling, you can refrigerate until ready to use or fry right away.

The provolone cheese sauce is just a simple bechamel with Provolone and Parmesan melted in.  I just felt I had to have a cheesy sauce to go with these (much like the cheese sauce that goes on real Philly cheesesteaks), but they are still delicious without it!

Don’t wait until the next Superbowl to make these!  Go ahead and schedule a party-preferably an all-fried-foods party because doesn’t that sound like a dream?-and make these!

Description

Golden-brown, crispy egg rolls are filled with sliced steak, caramelized onions and gooey American cheese.  Serve with a piquant provolone cheese sauce to go true Philly-style!


Ingredients

Scale

EGG ROLLS:

  • Olive oil, as needed
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 12 ounces very thinly sliced sirloin steak, coarsely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning
  • 9 slices thick-cut deli-style American cheese
  • 9 egg roll wrappers
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

PROVOLONE CHEESE SAUCE:

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • Heaping 1/2 cup (2–1/2 ounces) coarsely grated Provolone cheese
  • 1/8 cup (1/2 ounce) finely grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, preheat a little olive oil over medium heat.  Once hot, add the sliced onion with a pinch of salt.  Cook until the onions begin to soften.  Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are pale golden and caramelized, about 45 minutes.  Adjust the heat if necessary, reducing if the onions start to char.  Season to taste with salt and pepper and transfer to a medium mixing bowl.
  2. In the same skillet, heat a little more olive oil over medium-high heat.  Add the sliced steak and season with salt, pepper, and Montreal steak seasoning.  Cook until the meat is cooked through.  Remove from the the heat to the bowl with the onions and let cool.
  3. Once the filling is cooled, begin forming the egg rolls.  Lay one egg roll wrapper on a cutting board so it looks like a diamond facing you.  Place one slice of the American cheese in the center and a large, heaping spoonful of the filling in the center.  Wet your finger with water and run it around the entire edge of the wrapper.  Fold the corner closest to you over the filling, pinching it back lightly to remove any air pockets.  The entire filling should be covered at this point with the egg roll wrapper, except a little corner of cheese might be peeking out.  Fold the sides over the wrapped section and roll to complete the egg roll, pressing lightly to seal.  If you have any exposed areas, you can use a little more water to seal and pinch closed.  Watch this video to help you visualize how to do this.  Continue until you have rolled all the egg rolls.
  4. Begin preheating about 1-1/2 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed, high-sided skillet.
  5. While the oil preheats, make the provolone cheese sauce:  In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.  Once melted, add the flour and whisk to combine; cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, to remove the raw flour taste.  Slowly begin whisking in the milk, ensuring to whisk out any lumps.  Bring to a simmer and cook until the mixture starts to thicken and coat the back of a spoon.  Lower the heat to low and slowly whisk in the cheeses until melted.  Keep warm over low heat while you fry the egg rolls.
  6. Once the vegetable oil is hot, add about 3 to 4 egg rolls at a time.  Fry for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and the filling is heated through.  Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and keep warm in a 200° oven if desired.  Repeat with the remaining egg rolls.  Serve with the warm provolone cheese sauce on the side.

I love good food.

If you think stuffed mushrooms are a relic of 1970 If you think stuffed mushrooms are a relic of 1970s dinner parties, let me introduce you to the glow-up you didn’t know you needed. These Manchego-Stuffed Mushrooms with Chorizo Breadcrumbs are rich, crispy, and dangerously poppable—so much so that you might accidentally eat an entire tray while “taste-testing.” (Not speaking from experience. Definitely not.)

They’re easy enough for a casual get-together but fancy enough to pretend you have your life together. Perfect for parties, holidays, or a Tuesday night when you need a snack that’s extra.

I know what you’re thinking: squash blossoms in I know what you’re thinking: squash blossoms in late September? Am I out of my mind? Maybe. But hear me out. I found the best-looking squash blossoms I’ve ever come across at the farmer’s market on Saturday, and they were $5 for 3 big bunches and the sweet corn stand was still going on the corner, so you can’t expect me to pass that up. I’ve been waiting to recreate a dish I had at @monteverdechi in Chicago last month, so here we are…with a recipe…for squash blossoms…with sweet corn…in almost October.

I get it—it’s technically the end of squash blossom season, but if you’re lucky, you might still find a stash at your local farmers’ market or, dare I say it, a friendly neighbor’s garden (or your own?). Either way, if you can track some down, these Crab and Ricotta-Stuffed Squash Blossoms are worth the hunt. Trust me, you’ll want to savor every last bite of this seasonal gem. I can easily take down five or six of these.

Lettuce wraps are one of those dishes that sound s Lettuce wraps are one of those dishes that sound simple, but when done right, they pack a punch of flavor that’ll leave you wondering why you don’t make them more often. These Spicy Coconut Chicken Lettuce Wraps are no exception. Sure, they’ve got a few more ingredients than the quick weeknight dinner you might be looking for, but trust me, the payoff is huge. With layers of spicy green curry, creamy coconut, tangy pickled veggies, and two ridiculously good sauces, these wraps are a sensory experience in every bite. Whether you’re a fan of the lettuce wraps at P.F. Chang’s or you’ve fallen in love with the spicy, herb-packed flavors of Thai larb, this recipe is going to blow your mind (in the best way possible). 

Plus, if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the ingredient list, I’ve got tips on how to split this into a two-day cooking adventure—because let’s be real, no one wants to spend five hours in the kitchen on a weekday.

Let’s talk s’mores—the ultimate campfire tre Let’s talk s’mores—the ultimate campfire treat: graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows, perfectly toasted over an open flame, leaving your fingers sticky and your soul satisfied. But, sometimes, the outdoors isn’t calling or you want to make them on a larger scale, and making a bonfire in your kitchen is frowned upon. That’s where these S’mores Bars with Toasted Marshmallow Meringue come in. They’re a modern twist on a campfire classic. They’re a perfect make-ahead dessert for parties, tailgates, and bake sales.

We’re taking all the nostalgic flavors of your childhood camping trips and leveling them up—big time. These bars start with a buttery graham cracker crust, are layered with fudgy brownie goodness, topped with rich chocolate ganache, and finished with a cloud of toasted marshmallow meringue. And the best part? You can enjoy these babies without having to swat away a single mosquito. No joke—last time I had a bonfire and made s’mores, my cousin and I came away with over 50 mosquito bites collectively.

When it comes to dessert, I think that combining f When it comes to dessert, I think that combining fruit with a crispy, buttery topping and serving with vanilla ice cream is one of the most satisfying ways to enjoy the season’s best produce. But let’s be real, there’s always room for improvement. Enter: Salted Caramel Peach Crisp. The salty-sweet, slightly bitter caramel plays off the peaches so well. This dish is the perfect marriage of sweet, juicy peaches and a rich, salty caramel sauce, all crowned with a crisp topping that’s just begging to be devoured.
