Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little oil if needed.
  2. Add the steak slices and cook until browned. If using ground beef, cook until fully browned and crumbled.
  3. Add onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until soft.
  4. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  6. Stir in the shredded cheese until melted and combined.

Step 2: Assemble the Eggrolls

  1. Lay an eggroll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape.
  2. Spoon 2-3 tbsp of the cheesesteak mixture into the center.
  3. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, rolling tightly. Seal the edge with beaten egg.
  4. Repeat for the remaining eggrolls.

Step 3: Air Fry the Eggrolls

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  2. Lightly spray the eggrolls with cooking spray or brush with olive oil for a crispy finish.
  3. Arrange them in the air fryer basket in a single layer (do not overcrowd).
  4. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Let them cool slightly before serving.

Step 4: Prepare the Dipping Sauce (Optional)

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper.
  2. 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!
