Preheat the air fryer to 400F and line the basket with air fryer parchment for easier cleanup.
Add the steak, garlic, salt, pepper, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms and olive oil to a large mixing bowl and toss until combined. Place the steak mixture in the air fryer basket and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the meat is fully cooked.
1 pound sirloin, 2 garlic cloves, 1/3 teaspoon salt, 1/3 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 cup green bell pepper, 1/2 cup red bell pepper, 1/2 sweet onion, 1 cup cremini mushrooms, 2 tablespoons olive oil
Then top the mixture with sliced provolone cheese in a single layer and continue cooking for about 2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
6 slices provolone cheese
Meanwhile, prepare the cheesesteaks. If you like, brush the outsides with butter before filling them up with the steak mixture. Then use a spatula or tongs to fill the hoagie rolls with the steak and veggies. Place the filled hoagies back in the air fryer for 1-2 mins to warm up.
4 hoagie rolls, 1 tablespoon butter
Divide the cheesesteaks between 4 plates If you like, you can top them with parsley.
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Notes
Use two forks to separate the beef so you don't get chewy clumps!
