This fun take on the traditional Philly cheesesteak is a great meal to make with kids. Leave the slicing and frying up to you, but let them have fun with the stuffing and rolling. This recipe incorporates green peppers and steak sauce for additional flavor and texture, but if you’d rather go fully traditional, you can eliminate those ingredients without any other tweaks to the recipe.

Feel free to fry up a batch of these, allow them to cool completely, then freeze in a freezer bag for up to a month. Just remove and reheat in a toaster or oven until evenly hot throughout and serve up with a side of ranch.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced

  • 1 pound ribeye steak, thinly sliced

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • Salt, to taste

  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • 2 tablespoons steak sauce

  • Canola or vegetable oil, for frying

  • 12 slices provolone cheese

  • 12 store-bought egg roll wrappers

  2. In a large, deep, heavy-duty skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the green pepper and continue cooking until tender, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

  4. Add the pepper and onion mixture back to the pan along with the steak sauce. Stir until the mixture is coated in the sauce. Lower the heat to low and simmer, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

  5. Wipe the skillet clean. Add 2 to 3 inches of oil to the skillet. Increase the heat to medium-high. Heat the oil until it reaches 350 F.

  6. Meanwhile, put one slice of provolone in the center of an eggroll wrapper. Top with about 2 tablespoons of steak mixture. Fold the eggroll wrapper according to package directions, using water to seal the edges. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

How do you thinly slice a ribeye?

To make the ribeye easy to slice, freeze it for about 30 minutes first, then slice using a very sharp knife.
