- Optional: Spread 1 tbsp mayonnaise on bottom bagel half.
- Layer sliced steak across bottom bagel half.

Notes
- Seasoning the steak generously with spices ensures a flavorful base for your sandwich.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking to keep the meat juicy and tender.
- Whisk eggs gently and remove from heat while still slightly wet to prevent overcooking and achieve a creamy texture.
- For a lighter version, use whole wheat bagels and swap regular cheese for a low-fat alternative.
