Why Invest in an Air Fryer?
In general, an air fryer is much faster than oven cooking. It cuts down the cook time because of its small size compared to an oven. If you want to save time and money when cooking, an air fryer is a good option. In addition, it’s a great alternative for those who do not have the space for a conventional oven. College students, this is a great option for you too!
Another reason to invest in an air fryer, is the easy clean-up. Most air fryer baskets and racks can go directly into the dishwasher. If you don’t have a dishwasher, they can be easily washed down with a sponge and dish soap.
Lastly, if you want the taste of “fried” food without all the fat, cholesterol and grease, then an air fryer is the solution for you. For most recipes, it only takes a few spritz’s of olive oil spray, a much healthier option to create that “fried” food flavor!
Trust me, I was skeptical at first when Jim wanted to buy an air fryer. Just another piece of equipment that I would find in the storage room collecting dust. A waste of money! However, the 100 dollars he spent on it was worth every penny, when he made me these Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls! I can’t get enough of them! They are SO GOOD! One of my favorite air fryer recipes to date!
Try them and see for yourself! Let’s get started…
Air Fryer Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls-Ingredients
Egg roll wrappers, beef steak, provolone cheese, onion. Don’t forget that olive oil baking spray!
Air Fryer Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls-Instructions
For the filling. Chop the onion. Add oil to the pan and sauté on medium low heat until translucent. Roughly chop the beef and add to the sauté pan. Add salt, pepper and garlic powder. Continue until meat is cooked through. Remove from heat, place in a bowl and let cool.
Shred the provolone cheese. Add half of the shredded cheese to the meat mixture and incorporate.
Place an egg roll wrapper on a cutting board, so that it looks like a diamond. Add 2 tbsp of the meat mixture and sprinkle a little more cheese on top.
Roll the bottom corner up to cover the meat.
Fold in the sides.
Wet the top corner with a little water and roll it down.
Place on a tray and repeat until all the meat/cheese mixture is used up. About 12 egg rolls.
Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees. Spray the egg rolls with olive oil. Place them in the air fryer, taking care not to crowd. Six fit nicely in the air fryer I use.
Cook for 10 minutes, turning half way through. All air fryers cook differently, so you may need to adjust the cooking time based on your machine and cook preference. Remove the egg rolls from air fryer tray.
Serve with the sriracha dipping sauce. Enjoy!

So good!!
Best cheesesteak eggrolls ever . Used shredded cheddar in place of provolone 🤤
So glad you liked them, we absolutely love them too! All cheese is good.
Can you freeze these once they are rolled?
Absolutely! I usually freeze half the batch. I have kept them for 2 months and they were still great.
I froze some of them already cooked. How should I reheat?
You can re-heat in the air fryer at 350 for 2 minutes turning after 1 minute or, in the oven at 350 for 5 minutes and check to see if they are done (165 degree internal temp). I would not recommend the microwave as they tend to get soggy. Hope that helps!
Delicious. My grocery store doesn’t sell shaved beef, so they recommend a frozen raw shaved beef Philly sandwich kit, that came with seasoning. I bought that and added onion, then made the rest as directed. It was a hit at my house!
