Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich
Juicy steak, sautéed peppers and onions, loads of melted cheese and a warm, buttery toasted roll. This Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich is proper comfort food and surprisingly easy to make at home. I cooked the steak and vegetables on the stove, toasted the rolls in the air fryer, then gave the assembled sandwiches one final air fryer finish to get that cheese beautifully melted.

Lackie's Notes
Slice the steak thinly. Skirt steak cooks quickly, and thin slices keep the filling tender and easy to eat.
Don't skip the garlic parsley butter on the rolls. Brush it inside before toasting for extra flavour.
Don't overdo the final air fryer cook. Everything is already cooked at that stage. You only need enough time to melt the cheese, warm the filling and lightly crisp the bread.
Serve it with
Serving Suggestion
Serve hot with spicy mayo or sriracha mayo for dipping.
