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)

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.
