Philly cheese steaks with cream cheese sauce

For the meat I just mainly added things that sounded good and it turned out amazing. Sorry I don't have pictures for this one. If anything doesn't make since let me know. 
What you'll need:
Picture is not mine to credit.
  • Beef for stew lean or any kind of steak,cut into thin slices ( i cooked a lot of meat. I just eyed it and it made enough to feed 5-6 people sorry I don't have exact measurements)
  • Seasoned meat tenderizer 
  • garlic salt
  • oil
  • 1 green pepper or more if you want more, sliced
  • half  an onion or more, sliced
  • 1 tbs root beer
  • Hoagie buns
  • 1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Mushrooms ( optional)
Cream cheese sauce:
  • 2 oz cream cheese 
  • 1 c milk
  • 1 tbs flour
  • 4 slices of swiss cheese( I just broke them up and put them in with the cream cheese)
  • 1 handful cheddar cheese
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tbs butter
What to do:
Turn on broiler for hoagie buns
Cut meat really thin and long. First take the seasoned meat, garlic salt, and oil and rub on the cut up meat and work it in the meat. Place in skillet and cook on med, cook it really slow so it can soak up all the flavor and stay tender. 
When the meat is almost cooked add root beer and worchestershire sauce and mushrooms if you decide to have them. keep on med heat. 
When meat is done place the green pepper and onion with meat and cook. I like them with a crunch so i didn't cook them for very long. Put on low and start on sauce. 
Cut your hoagie buns, put on tray and place in oven and cook till light brown or toasty. I added a little butter to mine before I put them in the oven. 
Sauce:
Add 1 tbs butter to skillet and melt. Whisk in flour, cook for 1 min. Slowly stir in milk. 
Stir in cream cheese and cheese and cook till melted. Season with salt and pepper. 
Place meat and veggies in hoagie bun and dress it with sauce. So so yummy!!
