Ingredients

For the Bagel Sandwich

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 pound shaved steak
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 slices American cheese (or your preferred melting cheese)
• 2 bagels, halved and toasted

For the Sauce

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon dried dill

Optional Additions

• Hot sauce or sriracha for heat
• Fresh avocado slices for creaminess

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, and dried dill until smooth. Cover and chill while you make the sandwich to let the flavors meld.

Step 2: Cook the Onions

• Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
• Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt.
• Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and lightly browned. Remove and set aside.

Step 3: Scramble the Eggs

• Melt another tablespoon of butter in the same skillet over medium-low heat.
• Add the beaten eggs and cook, stirring gently, until they’re soft and fluffy.
• Divide the scrambled eggs into two portions and keep warm.

Step 4: Season and Cook the Steak

• In a bowl, toss the shaved steak with Worcestershire sauce and Montreal steak seasoning.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of butter in the skillet. Add the steak and cook, stirring, until the meat is nicely browned.
• Return the cooked onions to the skillet, mix with the steak, then divide into two portions. Top each portion with a slice of cheese and let it melt.

Step 5: Toast the Bagels

• Toast the bagel halves in a toaster or in a skillet until golden and crisp.

Step 6: Assemble the Sandwich

• Spread the prepared sauce on each toasted bagel half.
• Place the scrambled eggs on the bottom halves.
• Top with the steak, onion, and melted cheese mixture. Finish with the top bagel halves.

Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

• Use quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality steak and free-range eggs make a noticeable difference.
• Toast in the skillet: Toasting the bagels briefly in the skillet after cooking the steak and onions lets them absorb extra flavor.
• Add heat carefully: A few dashes of hot sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes will enhance the sandwich without overpowering it.
