1. Preparation of Ingredients:

• Begin by washing your vegetables thoroughly under cold water. Dry them with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
• Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the ribeye steak against the grain into strips. This ensures tender bites.
• Slice onions and bell peppers into thin strips for even cooking and a perfect blend of flavors.

2. Selecting the Right Ingredients:

• Choosing high-quality ribeye steak is crucial for a tender and flavorful Philly Cheesesteak. The marbling in the ribeye adds juiciness.
• Fresh vegetables add crunch and sweetness, balancing the savory notes of the meat.

3. Seasoning:

• Season the steak strips with salt and pepper to taste. For added flavor, consider marinating the steak in a mixture of olive oil, garlic powder, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
• Toss the sliced onions and bell peppers with a little olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.

4. Variety of Seasoning Options:

• Beyond basic salt and pepper, experiment with seasoning blends such as Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, or a Philly cheesesteak spice mix to enhance the natural flavors of your ingredients.

5. Air Fryer Settings:

• Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). This temperature is ideal for cooking the steak and vegetables, ensuring they become perfectly tender and slightly caramelized.

6. Placing Ingredients in the Air Fryer:

• Arrange the steak and vegetables in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring there’s space for air to circulate. This may need to be done in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

7. Importance of Cooking Temperature and Time:

• Cook the steak and vegetables for about 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through. The precise timing ensures the meat is cooked through but remains tender, and the vegetables are lightly charred but not burnt.

8. Ensuring Even Cooking:

• Proper arrangement of steak and vegetables in the basket is key to even cooking. Avoid overcrowding to ensure each piece gets a crispy edge.

9. Serving:

• Once cooked, assemble your Philly Cheesesteak by placing the steak and vegetables onto the hoagie rolls. Top with slices of provolone cheese and return to the air fryer for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Serve immediately while hot and enjoy!
