Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 plain bagels (alternatives: everything, onion, or cheese bagels)
- 0.5 pound (226.8 grams) shaved steak
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 2 slices American cheese (alternatives: cheddar or provolone)
Seasoning and Aromatics:
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Cooking and Sauce Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon dried dill
Instructions
- Create a zesty condiment by blending mayonnaise, tangy mustard, and fragrant dill in a small mixing bowl. Chill the sauce in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Melt of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Introduce thinly sliced onions with a pinch of salt, sautéing until they develop a golden-brown caramelization. Transfer the onions to a separate plate and set aside.
- Marinate the thinly sliced steak with Worcestershire sauce and robust Montreal steak seasoning in a preparation bowl.
- Add another tablespoon (15 milliliters) of butter to the skillet and sear the seasoned steak until it reaches a perfect brown color. Reintroduce the caramelized onions to the meat, gently combining them. Arrange the mixture into two distinct portions and crown each with a slice of cheese, allowing it to melt elegantly.
- Utilize the remaining tablespoon (15 milliliters) of butter in the skillet to prepare scrambled eggs. Divide the eggs into two equal portions to match the sandwich servings.
- Crisp the bagels to a golden-brown finish using a skillet or toaster.
- Generously spread the prepared sauce across both halves of each bagel.
- Layer the bottom bagel half with scrambled eggs, top with the melted cheese steak and onion mixture, and complete the sandwich by placing the top bagel half.
Notes
- Sauce Prep: Blend mayonnaise, mustard, and dill ahead of time for maximum flavor infusion and convenient sandwich assembly.
- Caramelization Tip: Slowly cook onions over medium heat to develop rich, sweet undertones that elevate the overall sandwich taste.
- Meat Seasoning Hack: Marinate shaved steak briefly in Worcestershire sauce and Montreal seasoning for deep, robust flavor penetration.
- Cheese Melting Technique: Allow cheese to melt directly on hot steak mixture for seamless integration and maximum gooey texture.
- Bagel Toasting Trick: Lightly toast bagels to create a crispy exterior while maintaining a soft interior for perfect sandwich structure.
- Quick Assembly Strategy: Layer ingredients immediately after cooking to ensure each component remains warm and maintains optimal texture and taste.
