Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- ½ pound (226 grams) shaved steak
- 4 eggs
- 2 slices American cheese
Bread and Condiments:
- 2 plain bagels
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Seasonings and Extras:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small onion, sliced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon dried dill
Instructions
- Whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, and dried dill in a compact mixing vessel, creating a harmonious sauce blend. Refrigerate to allow flavor integration and depth.
- Transform sliced onions into golden delicacies by gently sautéing in butter over medium heat. Sprinkle a delicate salt pinch to enhance caramelization. Once achieving a rich amber color and slight crisp edges, remove from heat and reserve.
- Massage shaved steak with Worcestershire sauce and Montreal seasoning, ensuring complete coating. Return skillet to medium-high temperature and melt butter. Sear steak until achieving a delectable light brown crust.
- Reintroduce caramelized onions into the steak pan, gently intermingling the ingredients. Strategically arrange steak-onion mixture into two distinct portions. Crown each portion with a melting cheese slice.
- Crack eggs into a bowl and whisk until uniformly blended. Melt remaining butter in skillet and pour eggs, creating soft, pillowy scrambled eggs. Divide eggs into corresponding portions.
- Crisp bagel halves using a skillet or toaster until edges turn golden and surface becomes slightly crunchy. Generously spread prepared sauce across each bagel surface.
- Construct sandwiches by layering scrambled eggs, followed by the cheese-adorned steak and onion mixture. Complete by crowning with remaining bagel halves.
Notes
- Prep-Ahead Magic: Whisk the signature sauce in advance, letting the dill and mustard blend intensify flavors for a more robust taste experience.
- Onion Caramelization Trick: Low and slow cooking transforms ordinary onions into sweet, golden treasures that elevate the entire sandwich’s depth.
- Steak Seasoning Secret: Worcestershire sauce and Montreal seasoning create a flavor-packed punch, ensuring every bite of meat is juicy and memorable.
- Cheese Melting Technique: Strategically placing cheese directly on hot steak allows for perfect, gooey coverage without additional pans.
- Assembly Pro Tip: Toast bagels until golden and crisp to provide a sturdy foundation that prevents sogginess and adds delightful crunch.
- Sauce Distribution Hack: Spread sauce generously on both bagel halves to guarantee maximum flavor in every single bite.
