Ingredients
- 2 Ribeye or Sirloin steaks about 6 oz each
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 Cheddar or American cheese slices
- 2 Bagels plain, sesame, or everything
- 1 tbsp Olive oil for cooking
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- Optional: Mayonnaise Dijon mustard, and Honey for sauce
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Steak
- Season the steak: Start by seasoning your steak with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder. If you have extra time, marinate the steak for 30 minutes to an hour to enhance the flavor.
- Cook the steak: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a little oil. Grill the steak for approximately 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your preferred level of doneness. After cooking, take the steak off the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Slice the steak: After resting, slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure it's tender and easy to bite into when assembling the sandwich.
Step 2: Prepare the Eggs
- Cook the eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk them together. Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter in it. Pour in the eggs and scramble them gently, stirring occasionally until soft and fluffy. You can also fry the eggs sunny-side up or cook them to your liking if you prefer a runny yolk.
Step 3: Toast the Bagels
- Toast the bagels: Slice your bagels in half and toast them in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside, yet soft inside. You can spread a little butter on the cut sides for extra flavor, if desired.
Step 4: Assemble the Bagel Sandwich
- Start with the bottom bagel half: Place the toasted bottom half of the bagel on a plate.
- Add the steak: Layer a few slices of your cooked steak on top of the bottom bagel.
- Add the eggs: Spoon a generous portion of your scrambled eggs over the steak.
- Melt the cheese: Place a slice of your preferred cheese (cheddar, American, or Swiss) on top of the eggs. You can pop the sandwich under a broiler for a few seconds or cover it with a lid to melt the cheese quickly.
- Top with the second bagel half: Place the top half of the toasted bagel over the melted cheese and egg for a perfect sandwich.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Serve: Cut the bagel sandwich in half (if desired) and serve while hot. Pair with a side of fruit, crispy hash browns, or a refreshing smoothie for a complete breakfast.
