Ingredients

Scale

For the Sandwich:

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion, 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
  • 1 bagel, split and toasted

For the Sauce:

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce:

    • In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, mustard, and dried dill.
    • Refrigerate the sauce until ready to use.
  2. Sauté the Onions:

    • Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
    • Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt.
    • Stir and cook until the onions begin to soften and turn slightly brown, about 5–7 minutes.
    • Transfer the cooked onions to a plate.
  3. Scramble the Eggs:

    • In the same skillet (add another tablespoon of butter if needed), pour in the beaten eggs.
    • Cook over medium heat, stirring gently to scramble until just set.
    • Divide the scrambled eggs evenly onto two portions for the sandwich.
  4. Cook the Steak:

    • Place the shaved steak in a bowl.
    • Drizzle with Worcestershire sauce and sprinkle the Montreal steak seasoning over the top.
    • Toss gently to coat the steak evenly.
    • In the skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
    • Add the seasoned steak and cook until just browned, about 2–3 minutes.
    • Return the sautéed onions to the skillet with the steak and stir to combine.
    • Divide the steak-onion mixture evenly into two portions and top each with a slice of American cheese, allowing the cheese to melt.
  5. Toast the Bagel:

    • Toast the bagel halves either on the skillet or in a toaster until golden and crisp.
  6. Assemble the Sandwich:

    • Spread a generous amount of the prepared sauce on both halves of the toasted bagel.
    • On the bottom half, layer one portion of scrambled eggs, followed by the steak, onion, and melted cheese mixture.
    • Top with the other half of the bagel.
  7. Serve:

    • Serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Adjust the Montreal steak seasoning to suit your taste for spice.
  • For a creamier sandwich, add extra sauce or a slice of avocado.
  • This recipe works well with leftover steak—just ensure it’s thinly sliced for best results.
