Philly cheesesteak egg rolls have all your favorite flavors of a Philly 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.
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 saved on fat and calories by frying them with air!
Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls Ingredients:
- 1 Green Bell Pepper
- 1 Medium White Onion
- 1/2 Pound of Cheese. I use Provolone.
- 2 Packages of Frozen Sliced Steak
- 1 Package Egg Roll Wrappers
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 crips.
A bit of color adds a natural sweetness to the vegetables.
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.
Cheesesteak Egg Rolls
I cook the meat 2 planks at a time in the pan.
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. The residual heat will continue to cook the meat as it sits on the plate. This carry over cooking will help ensure that your meat does not get dried out. I find that if you cook the meat all the way in the pan, it tends to be dry by the time it cools.

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.
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!
Rolling a cheesesteak egg roll
On a clean, dry surface it is time to roll up your Philly cheese steak egg rolls.
I use about a 1/4 of a cup of filling in each one.
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.

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!
I would do chicken wings. I enjoyed the philly steak egg rolls yummy idea!!
I would love to try this recipe but it looks too complicated!
OMG, these look amazing! On my to make list for sure, thanks for the idea.
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!
It looks delicious and I would love to try fried chicken in there.
Those egg rolls look really delicious. I would probably end up making chicken nuggets or french fries first.
That was my first use as well! Once you start you want to air fry everything!
