Ingredients
For the Eggrolls:
- 1 lb ribeye steak (thinly sliced) or ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 small green bell pepper, diced
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced (optional)
- 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup shredded provolone, mozzarella, or American cheese
- 8-10 eggroll wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
- Cooking spray or 1 tbsp olive oil (for air frying)
For the Dipping Sauce (Optional):
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little oil if needed.
- Add the steak slices and cook until browned. If using ground beef, cook until fully browned and crumbled.
- Add onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until soft.
- Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Stir in the shredded cheese until melted and combined.
Step 2: Assemble the Eggrolls
- Lay an eggroll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape.
- Spoon 2-3 tbsp of the cheesesteak mixture into the center.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, rolling tightly. Seal the edge with beaten egg.
- Repeat for the remaining eggrolls.
Step 3: Air Fry the Eggrolls
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
- Lightly spray the eggrolls with cooking spray or brush with olive oil for a crispy finish.
- Arrange them in the air fryer basket in a single layer (do not overcrowd).
- Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Let them cool slightly before serving.
Step 4: Prepare the Dipping Sauce (Optional)
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Serve alongside the eggrolls for dipping.
Tips for Perfect Cheesesteak Eggrolls
✅ Use ribeye steak for the most authentic Philly cheesesteak flavor. If using ground beef, ensure it’s well-seasoned.
✅ Thinly slice the steak against the grain for the best texture.
✅ Shred your own cheese instead of using pre-shredded for better melting.
✅ Seal the eggrolls well with egg wash to prevent them from bursting.
✅ Don’t overcrowd the air fryer—cook in batches for even crispiness.
✅ Want extra crispiness? Lightly brush the eggrolls with oil before air frying.
✅ Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor!
