Ingredients

Scale

For the Steak:

  • 6 oz ribeye steak (or sirloin), thinly sliced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ tablespoon unsalted butter
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil

For the Egg:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ tablespoon butter

For Assembly:

  • 2 bagels, sliced and toasted
  • 2 slices American cheese (or cheddar)
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Steak:

  • Season the thinly sliced steak with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cook the Eggs:

  • In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  • Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
  • Pour the eggs into the pan and cook slowly, folding them gently with a spatula until set and fluffy. Remove from heat.

Assemble the Bagel:

  • Toast the bagels until golden brown.
  • Spread mayonnaise (if using) on one or both halves of the bagel.
  • Place a slice of cheese on the bottom half of each bagel.
  • Layer the cooked steak over the cheese, followed by the folded eggs.
  • Add hot sauce (if desired) and top with the second slice of cheese.
  • Close the sandwich with the top half of the bagel and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Variations: Swap ribeye for sirloin or use turkey steak for a leaner option.
  • Cheese Options: American cheese melts best, but cheddar or pepper jack can add extra flavor.
  • Serving Tip: Serve with hash browns, fresh fruit, or a cup of coffee for a complete breakfast.
  • Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but you can store wrapped sandwiches in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat in a toaster oven.
