Wonton Cheesesteak Rolls

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 8 rolls

Ingredients

• 1 pound chopped steak (sliced sirloin, ribeye, or ground beef)
• 5 slices white American cheese
• ¼ cup green bell pepper, finely diced
• ¼ cup white onion, finely diced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 8 wonton wrappers
• Garlic powder, to taste
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Vegetable oil, for the griddle
• Sriracha ketchup, for serving

Directions

1. Prepare the Vegetables:

• Turn your Blackstone griddle to medium heat and drizzle lightly with vegetable oil.
• Add the diced green bell pepper and white onion to the griddle. Season with salt and pepper and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened.
• Once cooked, set the vegetables aside and turn the griddle to high heat.

2. Cook the Meat:

• Add the chopped steak or ground beef to the griddle.
• Use your Blackstone spatula and scraper to chop the meat into small pieces as it cooks. Continue to cook until it’s browned and fully cooked through.
• Lower the heat to medium-low, then add the Worcestershire sauce and season the meat with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
• Stir in the cooked peppers and onions. Let the mixture cook together for a couple of minutes to let the flavors meld.

3. Add the Cheese:

• Lay the white American cheese slices on top of the meat mixture.
• Cover with a dome or lid to help the cheese melt thoroughly. Once melted, use the spatula to mix the cheese into the meat.
• Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and refrigerate for 10 minutes. This helps the mixture firm up and makes it easier to handle when forming the rolls.

4. Prepare the Wonton Rolls:

• Follow the instructions on the back of the wonton wrapper package. Lay each wrapper in a diamond shape on a clean surface.
• Spoon an oval-shaped layer of the cheesesteak filling into the center of the wonton wrapper.
• Fold the bottom of the wrapper up and around the filling, then fold the sides in and roll upwards tightly.
• Seal the edge by rubbing a small amount of warm water along the seams to help them stick together.
• Place the prepared wonton rolls on parchment paper until you’re ready to fry them.

5. Fry the Wontons:

• Turn the griddle back on to high heat and add a generous amount of vegetable oil toward the opposite side of the griddle, leaving space for the grease spout.
• Slightly angle the griddle by placing a ¼ inch wedge under the wheels to manage the oil better.
• Once the oil is hot, carefully place the wonton rolls in the oil. Use tongs or a spatula to turn them, cooking all sides until the wontons are golden brown and crispy.

6. Serve:

• Once the wontons are fried, remove them from the griddle and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
• Serve your Wonton Cheesesteak Rolls with sriracha ketchup for dipping and enjoy!

Tips and Tricks

• Use a mix of meats: If you can’t decide between beef and turkey, feel free to use a combination of both for a lighter version!
• Make ahead: You can prepare the cheesesteak filling and refrigerate it for up to a day before rolling and frying the wontons.
• Test the oil temperature: Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying. A good test is to drop a small piece of wonton wrapper into the oil—if it bubbles and crisps up, the oil is ready.
• Crispier wontons: If you prefer extra-crispy wontons, fry them for a minute or two longer, but be careful not to burn them.
• Flavor variations: You can switch up the cheese—try provolone or mozzarella for a different flavor profile!

Notes

• Wonton wrappers: Wonton wrappers are often found in the refrigerated section of your grocery store, typically near other Asian ingredients. Be sure to use fresh wrappers for the best results.
• Spicy option: Add a bit of jalapeño or chili flakes to the meat mixture if you like some extra heat!
• Cheese options: If white American cheese isn’t available, you can use provolone, mozzarella, or a cheese blend, but the cheese should melt well for the best creamy texture.

Storage

• Storing leftover filling: The cheesesteak filling can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It can also be used in sandwiches or as a topping for fries!
• Storing wontons: Once fried, the wontons can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. However, for the best crispy texture, it’s recommended to eat them fresh.
• Freezing uncooked wontons: To freeze, arrange the prepared, un-fried wontons on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag. To cook, fry them straight from frozen—just increase the frying time by 1-2 minutes.

FAQs

1. Can I make these ahead of time?
   Yes, you can make the wontons ahead of time and freeze them uncooked. When ready to cook, fry them straight from the freezer for a crispy, fresh snack!
2. Can I use other types of cheese?
   Absolutely! You can use mozzarella, provolone, or even a cheese blend. Just ensure the cheese melts well to give that gooey cheesesteak effect.
3. Can I make these in the oven instead of frying?
   Yes, you can bake the wontons for a healthier alternative. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the wontons for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
4. Is it necessary to refrigerate the filling before rolling?
   While it’s not essential, refrigerating the filling for about 10 minutes helps the mixture firm up, making it easier to handle when rolling the wontons.
