Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 4 ounces (115 grams) thinly sliced steak (ribeye, sirloin, or deli-style roast beef)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or your choice)
Bread and Base:
- 2 bagels, sliced and toasted
Cooking and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ small onion, sliced (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise or creamy horseradish sauce (optional, for spreading)
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet to medium-high temperature and drizzle with olive oil, creating an even coating across the cooking surface.
- Carefully place thinly sliced steak into the hot skillet, allowing each side to sear for 2-3 minutes until a rich golden-brown crust develops and the meat reaches preferred doneness.
- Sprinkle the sizzling steak with garlic powder, freshly ground black pepper, and a pinch of salt, ensuring even seasoning across the entire surface.
- Transfer the cooked steak to a separate plate, letting it rest and retain its flavorful juices.
- In the same skillet with residual meat drippings, introduce sliced onions and allow them to caramelize slowly, stirring occasionally until they transform into a soft, golden-brown delicacy.
- While onions are cooking, prepare additional components like toasting the bagel and preparing the cheese slice to create a harmonious sandwich assembly.
- Once onions reach desired caramelization, remove from heat and arrange steak, cheese, and caramelized onions onto the toasted bagel for a complete, mouthwatering meal.
Notes
- Slice steak against the grain for maximum tenderness and easier chewing, ensuring each bite is melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
- Choose a high-quality, fresh bagel like everything or sourdough to elevate the sandwich’s overall flavor profile and texture.
- For a leaner version, swap beef with turkey or chicken breast and use low-fat cheese to reduce total calories without sacrificing taste.
- Experiment with different seasoning blends like Montreal steak seasoning or smoked paprika to add unexpected depth and complexity to the meat’s flavor.
