Ingredients
Scale
Steak & Onion Mixture
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 1/2 pound shaved steak
- 1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 slices American cheese
Eggs
- 4 eggs, beaten
Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon dried dill
Assembly
- 2 bagels, halved
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix mayonnaise, mustard, and dried dill. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Sauté onions: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sprinkle with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften and turn slightly brown. Once done, remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
- Scramble the eggs: Add another tablespoon of butter to the skillet and pour in the beaten eggs. Cook gently while stirring to scramble. Once cooked through, divide the eggs into two equal portions for assembling the sandwiches later.
- Cook the steak and combine with onions: Place shaved steak in a bowl and toss with Worcestershire sauce and Montreal steak seasoning until evenly coated. Melt the last tablespoon of butter in the skillet, then add the steak to the skillet. Cook just until the steak pieces brown lightly. Return the sautéed onions into the skillet, mixing them evenly with the steak. Divide this mixture into two portions and top each with a slice of American cheese, allowing it to melt.
- Toast the bagels: Using the skillet or a toaster, toast all bagel halves until they are golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spread the prepared dill mustard mayonnaise sauce on each toasted bagel half. Place one portion of scrambled eggs on the bottom halves of the bagels, then layer on the cheesy steak and onion mixture. Finish by placing the top halves of the bagels on each sandwich to complete.
Notes
- This sandwich is best enjoyed immediately while the cheese is warm and melty.
- For a spicier kick, consider adding a dash of hot sauce to the sauce mixture or on the eggs.
- Can substitute American cheese with cheddar or Swiss for different flavor profiles.
- Using freshly shaved steak ensures tenderness; you can ask your butcher to thinly slice sirloin or ribeye.
- Leftover steak mixture can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days but is best fresh.
