Philly Cheesesteak Wonton Cup Appetizers

The perfect tasty game day appetizer! These Crispy Philly Cheesesteak Wonton Cups are like a cheesesteak eggroll but made bite-sized in cup form!

I used store-bought wonton wrappers to make them much quicker, so you can make these ahead of time in BULK for any party or tailgate with no stress! Wonton cup appetizers are always a party favorite!

Growing up just outside of Philly, I had to share an appetizer that mimics our beloved Philly cheesesteaks! These are an easy but tasty appetizer that has all the right flavors you want out of a cheesesteak made bite-sized!

A crunchy wonton cup filled with juicy savory steak and caramelized onions makes for the perfect bite of a Philly cheesesteak!

Instructions

Step 1: Sauté your onions in a skillet until caramelized. Chop up your meat so it resembles shaved beef and mix it with your onions.

Step 2: Take your store-bought wonton sheets and cut out circles big enough to fit in your muffin or cupcake pan.

Step 3: Press them into you grease muffin tins and bake until wonton cups are lightly browned.

Step 4: Remove and add your cheesesteak and onion filling. Add a slice of cheese to the top of cheese and bake until melted.

Wonton Wrappers

I love using wonton wrappers. I use them for my Avocado Cream Cheese Filled Wontons. They can be found in the vegan section in the product aisle of your grocery store. They come in a sealed package and can be frozen if needed!

Cutting Your Wontons

It is up to you whether you want your wontons round or square.

If you want less of a wonton edge, trim them using a round cookie cutter.

Pro Tip* Spraying your wonton wrappers with cooking spray will help them crisp up better!

How To Make These Ahead of Time

These can be assembled ahead of time or even the night before!

To do so, just cut your wonton cups and prep your steak filling. Bake off your wonton cups without the filling and then set them aside or in the fridge.

Once you're ready to serve, add your filling and cheese into your baked cups and bake until just warmed through and melty.

Steak Options

The best steak to use for a Philly cheesesteak is ribeye. If you can get this THINLY shaved, then definitely use that!

If not, the next best option is to look in your food store for the pre-packaged shaved steak. They are more common now than ever. If you can't find that, ask the butcher to slice some for you or shave some stake yourself. (See below.)

The last options is to use Steak-umms (in the freezer aisle) OR deli style roast beef. The advantage to using roast beef is that you DO NOT need to cook the it and it's super easy to find. Plus, it is very tender so you won't need to worry about tough steak.

Shaving Your Ribeye

To shave ribeye yourself, you must pop the steak in the freezer for about 30 minutes or so until it hardens a bit. This will help tremendously!

Then take a sharp chef's knife and slice the steak as thinly as possible. This replicates what you get from a cheesesteak which helps to keep the meat tender and easier to chew.
