Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls
- Egg Roll Wrappers
- Ground Beef
- Onions
- Green Bell Pepper
- Garlic Powder
- Onion Powder
- salt
- Black Pepper
- Provolone Cheese
- Cream Cheese
Spray your skillet with non-stick cooking spray or olive oil. Turn the burners over to low-to-medium heat, and once your skillet is hot, add the ground beef and seasonings. Once your beef is about starting to brown, add the diced green bell pepper and diced onions. Continue to stir and cook until the meat is fully browned and the vegetables are softened.
Once your filling is fully cooked, remove the skillet from the stove, fold in the provolone cheese, and mix in the cream cheese. Continue to mix, until the cheese is melted.
On a flat surface, place your egg roll wrapper. Then add about 1/2 cup of filling in the center of the egg roll wrapper. Using your finger or a pastry brush, brush on some water to the sides. Then roll up your egg roll. A great video to watch on how to do this easily.
Continue to make the rest of the egg rolls until you run out of filing. Then add them to the air fryer basket. Spray them with cooking spray. Set the temperature to 380 degrees F, air fryer setting for 8 to 10 minutes.
Ingredient Notes:
Meat: Today, I used ground beef, but another popular option is shaved steak. I used ground beef because I usually have some on hand. You can easily purchase shaved steakin your meat department. Other options would be sliced ribeye, ground turkey, ground chicken, or even a vegan meat alternative.
Bell Peppers & Onions: You can easily substitute frozen onions and bell peppers instead of fresh. The recipe will be the same.
Bell Peppers: You can use any type you want. I often make these with a variety of colored peppers for a great and pretty appetizer dish.
Onions: Today, I used regular onions, although sweet onions and Vidalia onions would work well.
Cheese: If you want to make this dairy-free, you can skip the cheese. Otherwise, traditional cheesesteaks are prepared with provolone, but you can also use other options such as Cheeze Whiz, shredded mozzarella, or any cheese that you have on hand.
Air Fryer Tips:
Air Fryer: This recipe will work in any Air Fryer. Either a basket or oven model will work in the Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Vortex, Instant Pot Crisp Lid, and Mealthy Lid.
Timing: Since every air fryer is slightly different, it is recommended that you watch your egg rolls as they cook up.
Oil: For best results and a crispy exterior, spray your egg rolls with cooking spray. This will help the surface get crispy.
Crowding: For best results, do not crowd the air fryer basket. The hot air circulating the egg rolls helps them crisp up.

How To Store Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls
If you have any leftover egg rolls, let them cool to room temperature, and then place them into an airtight container. Put into the refrigerator. They will last between 2 to 3 days.
Freezing The Egg Rolls:
These are great appetizers that you can freeze ahead of time. Cook them per the recipe directions, and then place them on a greased baking sheet. Place the baking sheet into the freezer until the egg rolls are frozen solid.
Transfer the egg rolls to a freezer bag or freezer container. They will last for about 2 to 3 months. You can either air fry them from frozen or defrost them overnight in the refrigerator.
