Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Main Ingredients:
- 1/2 pound (226.8 grams) shaved steak
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 2 slices American cheese
Bread and Bagel:
- 2 plain bagels (can also use everything, onion, or cheese bagels)
Seasonings, Condiments, and Additional Ingredients:
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 grams) salt
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) Montreal steak seasoning
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 grams) dried dill
Instructions
- Create a zesty breakfast sauce by combining mayonnaise, mustard, and chopped dill in a small mixing container. Refrigerate the sauce to allow flavors to meld.
- Caramelize sliced onions in a skillet with butter and a pinch of salt over medium heat until they develop a golden-brown color and soft texture. Remove onions and set aside.
- Marinate shaved steak with Worcestershire sauce and Montreal steak seasoning to enhance its flavor profile.
- Sear the seasoned steak in the same skillet with additional butter, cooking until it reaches a perfect golden-brown exterior.
- Reintroduce the caramelized onions to the steak, gently combining them and creating two distinct portions in the pan.
- Layer cheese slices atop the steak and onion mixture, allowing them to melt and create a creamy coating.
- Scramble eggs in the skillet, dividing them into two equal portions that will fit perfectly on the bagel halves.
- Toast bagels until they achieve a crisp, golden surface with slight crunch.
- Generously spread the prepared breakfast sauce on both bagel halves to add moisture and flavor.
- Assemble the sandwich by layering scrambled eggs on the bottom bagel half, topping with the steak and onion mixture, and completing with the top bagel half.
Notes
- Customize the breakfast sauce by adjusting mustard and dill ratios to suit personal taste preferences.
- Ensure steak is thinly sliced and cooked quickly over high heat to maintain tenderness and prevent overcooking.
- Use cast iron skillet for better caramelization of onions and enhanced flavor development of steak.
- For gluten-free option, replace bagel with gluten-free bread or lettuce wrap to accommodate dietary restrictions.
