Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1/2 pound shaved steak
- 4 eggs
- 2 bagels, halved
- 2 slices American cheese
Seasonings and Condiments:
- 1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon dried dill
Cooking Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small onion, sliced
Instructions
- Craft a zesty sauce by blending mayonnaise, mustard, and dried dill in a small bowl. Refrigerate until sandwich assembly.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sauté sliced onions with a pinch of salt. Cook until edges caramelize, stirring intermittently. Transfer onions to a separate plate.
- Using the same skillet, add another butter portion and pour beaten eggs. Gently scramble eggs, creating two distinct portions for individual sandwiches.
- Toss shaved steak with Worcestershire sauce and Montreal steak seasoning. Melt remaining butter in the skillet and quickly sear steak until browned. Reintroduce caramelized onions, combining with meat and separating into two portions. Crown each meat pile with a cheese slice to facilitate melting.
- Simultaneously toast bagel halves until achieving a golden, crisp exterior – either using a skillet or traditional toaster.
- Generously spread prepared sauce across both bagel halves. Layer one scrambled egg portion onto bottom bagel, then crown with seasoned steak, caramelized onions, and melted cheese. Complete by positioning top bagel half.
Notes
- Elevate flavor by using high-quality steak cuts like ribeye or sirloin for richer taste and more tender texture.
- Control egg consistency by stirring gently and removing from heat when slightly wet for creamy scrambled eggs that won’t dry out.
- Quick caramelization trick for onions involves adding a pinch of sugar to help them brown faster and develop deeper sweetness.
- Gluten-free adaptation works perfectly by swapping bagels with gluten-free alternatives or using large portobello mushroom caps as bread replacement.
