Ingredients
Scale
Main Components:
- 1 bagel
- 6 ounces (170 grams) shaved steak
- 1 egg
- 1 slice American cheese
Supporting Condiments and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ small onion
- Salt
- Pepper
Optional Enhancements:
- ¼ teaspoon sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon onion powder
- Hot sauce
- Extra cheese
- Spinach or arugula
- Sauteed peppers
Instructions
- Mix 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon yellow mustard, ½ teaspoon lemon juice, ¼ teaspoon sugar, 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/8 teaspoon onion powder in a small bowl until completely smooth and creamy.
- Melt ½ tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat at 350°F. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over ½ small thinly sliced onion, cooking for 8-10 minutes until your onions turn golden and soft.
- Transfer caramelized onions to a separate plate. In the same skillet, add 6 oz shaved steak or 1 steak patty. Season with salt and pepper, searing for 2-4 minutes per side until your meat reaches a perfect golden-brown color.
- Wipe the skillet clean. Melt remaining ½ tablespoon butter over medium-low heat at 300°F. Whisk 1 egg thoroughly, then pour into the pan. Gently scramble until your eggs are just set and wonderfully fluffy.
- Toast your bagel until edges are crisp and golden. Spread signature sauce on bottom half of bagel. Layer with cooked steak, scrambled egg, and 1 slice of American cheese.
- Top with caramelized onions. Drizzle additional sauce if desired. Place bagel top over filling, press lightly, and serve immediately while everything is warm and delicious.
Notes
- Customize the sauce by adjusting mustard and lemon juice levels to match your preferred tang and brightness.
- Caramelize onions slowly and gently to develop deep, sweet flavor without burning.
- Choose a tender cut of beef like sirloin or ribeye for the most melt-in-your-mouth steak texture.
- For a lighter version, swap the bagel for a whole wheat English muffin and use low-fat cheese.
