Ingredients
Scale
- 2 bagels, sliced and toasted
- 4 oz (115 g) thinly sliced steak (ribeye, sirloin, or deli-style roast beef)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or your choice)
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 small onion, sliced (optional)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise or creamy horseradish sauce (optional, for spreading)
Instructions
1. Prepare the steak
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
- Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- If using onions, add them to the skillet and sauté until soft and caramelized, about 5 minutes.
2. Cook the eggs
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them to your preference (fried or scrambled). Season with salt and pepper.
3. Assemble the sandwich
- Spread mayonnaise or horseradish sauce on one side of each toasted bagel, if desired.
- Layer the cooked steak on the bottom half of the bagel.
- Add the cooked egg on top of the steak.
- Place a slice of cheese over the egg, letting it melt slightly from the residual heat.
- Add caramelized onions, if using, and top with the other half of the bagel.
4. Serve
- Serve the sandwich warm, paired with hash browns, fresh fruit, or coffee for a complete breakfast.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: Cook the steak and onions in advance, then assemble and reheat when ready to eat.
- Customization: Add a slice of tomato, a handful of spinach, or avocado slices for extra flavor and texture.
- Bagel Options: Use plain, sesame, or everything bagels based on your preference.
