    Philly cheesesteak egg rolls have all your favorite flavors of a cheesesteak rolled in an egg roll wrapper. Baked in an air-fryer these cheesesteak egg rolls will be a favorite for an appetizer or as a football food.

    If you love non traditional egg rolls as much as I do, you are going to want to make my Tex-Mex egg rolls, croque-monsieur egg rolls and my personal favorite, Thanksgiving Egg Rolls. My family has also been asking me to make sous vide pork shoulder this summer. Grab some black raspberries from your freezer and make a black raspberry pie for dessert!

    Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls

    I love Philly Cheesesteaks and I love egg rolls. Why not combine the two? Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls. Plus you don't have to deep fry them. Oh no! You do not! Keep reading on how I easily put them together and save on fat and calories by frying them with air!

    Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls Ingredients:

    Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls from Howipinchapenny.com
    • Bell Pepper
    • White Onion
    • Cheese. I use Provolone.
    • Frozen Sliced Steak
    • Egg Roll Wrappers

    ** I know that there is much debate about the green pepper in a Philly cheesesteak. My family likes them, if you do not.... leave it out!

    Finishing the Philly Cheesesteak Filling

    Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls from Howipinchapenny.com
    1. As your meat and vegetables are cooling, go ahead and chop up your cheese. I happened to use deli-sliced cheese but you are welcome to use pre-shredded cheese or shred your own.
    2. In a large bowl, combine your meat, cheese, and cooked peppers and onions.
    3. Stir to combine. This is the reason that you want the meat and veggies to cool. If they are not cool enough the cheese will start to melt. It is not the end of the world if the cheese melts but it will make for easier rolling if your cheese is not gooey!

    How to roll an egg roll:

    Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls from Howipinchapenny.com

    1. Use a clean, dry surface it is time to roll up your Philly cheesesteak egg rolls.
    2. I use about a ÂĽ of a cup of filling in each one.
    3. See the graphic above for step by step rolling instructions. 

    Cheesesteak egg roll TIP:

    Keep a damp but not wet paper towel covering your Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls wrappers while you work. They have a tendency to dry out quickly.

    Air Fryer Egg Rolls

    Now it is time to fry!

    Egg roll air fryer instructions:

    Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls from Howipinchapenny.com

    For these egg rolls, you are going to want to cook them in 2 stages for optimum crunchiness.

    1. Air Fry at 350 for 10 minutes followed by 392 for 3 minutes.

    Are you ready to crunch into these Philly cheesesteak egg rolls?  I know I am!!

    Ingredients
     

    • 2 Packages of Frozen Sliced Steak
    • 1 Package Egg Roll Wrappers
    • 1 Green Bell Pepper
    • 1 Medium White Onion
    • ½ Pound of Cheese

    Instructions
     

    • Start by dicing your onion. I went with a pretty fine dice because I knew I was going to be making small egg rolls and there is no need for big pieces of onion.
    • The green pepper is next. Same thing. Give it a fine dice.
    • In a hot, large pan, with a drizzle of olive oil, sauté your vegetables until they are cooked but still crip
    • Remove them to a paper towel lined plate and get ready to cook your frozen sliced steak.
    • I use the same hot pan that I cooked the vegetables in. The flavors left over from the onions and peppers will mingle with the meat as it cooks.
    • I add a dash of salt and pepper to the meat as it cooks. This is optional and you should flavor your meat to your taste.
    • I use a flat metal spatula to break the meat up into bite sized pieces as it cooks.
    • I let the meat cook until it is just about to lose the last bit of pink. Then I transfer it to a paper towel lined plate to drain off the excess fat.
    • In a large bowl, combine your meat, cheese and cooked peppers and onions.
    • Stir to combine
    • This is the reason that you want the meat and veggies to cool. If they are not cool enough the cheese will start to melt. It is not the end of the world if the cheese melts but it will make for easier rolling if your cheese is not gooey!
    • On a clean, dry surface it is time to roll up your Philly cheese steak egg rolls.
    • I use about a ÂĽ of a cup of filling in each one.
    • For these egg rolls you are going to want to cook them in 2 stages for optimum crunchiness.
    • Start at 350 for 10 minutes followed by 392 for 3 minutes.

      Thank you for your feedback George! Just know that if I ever slice an eggroll open in a photo it is just to showcase the filling for those who are looking to make the egg rolls. I appreciate you!

      I’m glad that you show the steps on how to assemble egg rolls,because here in Detroit,Michigan,there’s a family,where this lady boasts about her business is a food truck and she makes eggs rolls that her late mother used to make,well when I watched her brother make a egg roll on TV, the way he assembled one looks more like he was making a burrito,not a egg roll so I hope you could show people that there is a difference between rolling up a egg roll and a burrito,Also WHEN you serve a egg roll you eat it as a whole appetizer,not slice it in half like a finger sandwich which it is not.

      These turned out good. I’m plant based so I used beyond burger, daiya shredded 3 cheese blend and nozya vegan egg roll wraps. I used a little bit of thinly sliced onion instead of chopped. I seasoned with salt, pepper onion powder, worshishire sauce and A1 sauce. It was really tasty. Thank you for sharing.

      Nancy,
      You are welcome to spritz with olive oil before frying but I found that the oil that is in the filling from the cheese and the meat, is enough to brown them. Try one with and one without and see what you like. Bon appetite!

      Should I spritz them with olive oil before air frying? I am anxious to make these this week.
      Thanks, Nancy

      If it were me, I would not put them in a crock pot. You are right, the moisture can collect at the top of the lid and rain back down on the crisp rolls. If you have a way of venting the lid or placing a paper towel to collect the drips, that might be another alternative. Let me know if you found something that works for you.

      once these are made, can you keep them in crock pot on warm to travel or will they get soggy?

      can you share what time and temperature you used when making them?

      Why did my egg rolls turn out dry and hard.

      Thank you for the note Donna!

      I appreciate your attention to detail.That is the beauty of this recipe! You can adjust it to your taste. If you like green peppers in your cheesesteak.... add them! If you don't.... don't. I am a fan of a blend of green bell and red bell peppers. If you are an air fryer newbie, I would suggest 3-4 at a time, depending on the size of your air fryer. You want to be sure that there is enough air to circulate around the rolls. Just like deep frying, you don't want to over crowd!

      Cheers!

      I'm sure when i make them tonight, they'll be great - i'm using shaved rib eye steak, but the recipe is different than the video - one shows green peppers, and one is deep fried.. With that said, which peppers do you like using? and I'm an air fryer newbie, so how many would you do at one time? Thanks

      Jamie,
      I am so glad you enjoyed it! It is a favorite with our family as well. It had been a while since I have made these... guess I need to make a batch soon.

      That was my first use as well! Once you start you want to air fry everything!

      Those egg rolls look really delicious. I would probably end up making chicken nuggets or french fries first.

    17. Debbie

      January 19, 2015 at 8:38 am

      It looks delicious and I would love to try fried chicken in there.

      My goodness! I cannot wait to try these in our Air Fryer! These will be perfect for my toddler who loves cheesesteak :) I LOVE your video too, so professional!

      OMG, these look amazing! On my to make list for sure, thanks for the idea.

      I would love to try this recipe but it looks too complicated!

      I would do chicken wings. I enjoyed the philly steak egg rolls yummy idea!!

    22. krista grandstaff

      January 13, 2015 at 10:23 pm

      I think that I would first try to make some version of un-fried chicken... or something else that would normally be too fatty for us, but with the help of this nifty gadget - we could change that!
