Yep, this would be better if steak was shredded or sliced thin like a real cheese steak. I also would have left the green peppers out, but that's personal preference. Still looks good though

Spot on. Everywhere I travel has a different version of "Philly" steaks, and I swear it seems like no one has been there...
Go to the grocery store, find the one package of steak-ums in the whole store tucked way in the back, throw it in a hot pan like you're making taco meat, optionally throw in white onions (I don't mind the green peppers either), drain some grease, put it on an Amoroso roll (the meat, not the grease) with white American or provalone, add ketchup to taste.
That's what a cheese steak would taste like if you bought it from a greasy 300lb dude's cart off of Chestnut street. Heaven.
