Introduction

Enjoy a quick and delicious Philly cheesesteak made easily in your air fryer. This recipe combines tender beef, sautéed peppers and onions, and melted provolone cheese on crispy garlic Texas toast for a comforting meal any day of the week.

Inside, there are two slices of melted white cheese, one near the bottom and one closer to the top. Between the cheese slices, there is a generous layer of cooked, shredded brown beef mixed with bright green cooked peppers that look shiny and soft.

Ingredients

4 pieces of Garlic Texas Toast (frozen)
2 Frozen Beef Steaks (Steak Eze or Steak Umms)
½ Green Bell Pepper (sliced)
2 tbsp butter
Salt and Pepper to taste
½ Yellow Onion (sliced)
4 pieces Provolone Cheese
½ tsp seasoning salt

Instructions

Step 1: Slice the green bell pepper and yellow onion, then set them aside.
Step 2: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced peppers and onions, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until tender. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Step 3: Cook the frozen beef steaks according to package instructions—typically 2 minutes on each side. Break up the meat as it cooks.
Step 4: Return the cooked peppers and onions to the pan with the beef. Add ½ teaspoon of seasoning salt and mix well.
Step 5: Place the 4 pieces of frozen garlic Texas toast in your air fryer. Cook at 400°F for 3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes until toasted.
Step 6: Assemble the sandwiches by placing a piece of provolone cheese on two slices of the toasted garlic bread. Pile the Philly cheesesteak mixture on top of each.
Step 7: Add another piece of provolone cheese on top of the beef mixture for each sandwich.
Step 8: Top each sandwich with the remaining pieces of toasted garlic bread.
Step 9: Place the assembled sandwiches back in the air fryer and cook at 350°F for 3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the sandwich to warm through.

Tips & Variations

Use your favorite type of sliced cheese like American or cheddar instead of provolone for a different flavor.
Add sliced mushrooms to the pepper and onion mixture for extra texture and taste.
For spicier sandwiches, include a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes when sautéing the vegetables.
Make sure the steaks are broken up well while cooking for even distribution in the sandwich.

Storage

Store leftover sandwiches wrapped tightly in aluminum foil or airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–4 minutes or until warmed through to keep the bread crisp and the cheese melty.

How to Serve

Above this is a thick layer of cooked thinly sliced beef mixed with green bell pepper strips and small bits of cooked onion. On top of the meat and veggies is another layer of melted white cheese, and the sandwich is finished with a top slice of toasted golden brown bread. In the background, there is a green bell pepper, an onion, and a clear bowl with more cooked beef and vegetables. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use fresh steak instead of frozen?

Yes, fresh steak works well too. Thinly slice and cook it in the pan until browned before combining with the sautéed vegetables.

Is it possible to make this recipe without an air fryer?

Absolutely. You can toast the garlic bread in a toaster or oven and melt the cheese under the broiler. Just assemble the sandwich as directed.
