Ingredient Substitutions

And what's great about this steak egg and cheese bagel recipe is you can put your own spin on it.

Feel free to swap the cheddar for whatever cheese you want. I personally like to mix it up and use pepper jack or Swiss.

As for the bagel, you can use any kind you want, like sesame seed, plain, everything, or even cheddar.

And for the shaved steak, you can usually find it in the meat or freezer section, sometimes labeled shaved beef. It's basically any cut of beef, thinly sliced. So, if you can't find it, you can buy also buy flank steak or skirt steak and have the butcher slice it thin for you or just slice it yourself.

Also, don't be afraid to improvise when it comes to building your breakfast sandwich. I love adding this McDonald's breakfast sauce to mine for an elevated flavor.

How To Make McDonald's Steak Bagel

So, as I've mentioned, it couldn't be easier to make this savory steak and egg bagel. In only 30 minutes or less, you'll have two hearty steak egg cheese sandies for you and whoever is lucky enough to be sharing this recipe with you.

Plus, all the sandwich fillings are made in one pan, so you don't have to worry about cleanup!

And once you've made this steak and cheese bagel, you'll have no problem making it over and over again - and that's without looking at the steps.

Yup, it's that easy!

Now, let's get into the recipe.

Step 1: Season the Steak

First, you'll want to transfer the shaved steak to a bowl along with the garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.

Then, give it a mix, and set it aside for later.

Step 2: Cook The Onions and Steak

Next, put a non-stick iron skillet (or any other oven-proof skillet) over medium high heat on the stove.

Add the butter to it and let it melt, then add the onions and cook them, stirring occasionally, until nice and browned. Then, transfer the onions to a plate, and in the same pan, add the seasoned shaved steak.

Cook the steak for about 1-2 minutes, then flip and cook for another minute or so until browned.

Then, add the steak to the plate of onions and clean the skillet.

Step 3: Prepare The Bagels and Eggs

Now, toast bagels to your liking in the toaster oven or air fryer.

Then, in the meantime, put the skillet back on the stove and grease it with some butter.

Next, add the eggs to a bowl, and whisk to combine the whites and yolks. Pour the eggs into the skillet and cook for a few minutes until solid, then flip and cook for another minute to make an omelet. 

Step 4: Assemble the Sandwich

Finally, to build your sandwich, place one half of the bagel onto the skillet and top it with half of the cooked steak and onions.

Next, fold half of the egg on top, followed by a slice of cheese.

Place the other half of the bagel on top and repeat the steps to make the second sandwich.

Then, cover the skillet with a lid, so the cheese melts in the residual heat.

By the way, if you want to speed it up, you can also transfer the skillet to the oven and heat it to melt the cheese faster.

Then, once the cheese has melted, serve the steak egg and cheese bagel with some steak sauce or breakfast sauce and enjoy!

How To Store McDonald's Steak Bagel

So, as you know, this recipe for McDonalds copycat steak egg and cheese bagel will make 2 delicious breakfast sandwiches. And if you're just making this recipe for yourself, you can totally save the other sandwich for later in the week!

The best way to store everything is in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to 5 days. Then, when you're ready to eat the sandwich, just toast the bagel, assemble, and melt the cheese.

And if you want to keep them for longer or pre-make a bunch of these breakfast sandwiches for meal prep, they freeze really well! Make as many as you want and then wrap the assembled sandwich in tin foil - or parchment paper - and transfer to a freezer-safe bag. 

Stored this way, the sandwich will last in the freezer for up to 1 month.

How To Reheat Breakfast Sandwiches

To reheat the steak egg and cheese bagel sandwich, simply wrap your bagel sandwiches in a paper towel and heat in the microwave in 30-second increments until warmed through.

Alternatively, you can place your steak sandwich in the oven or toaster set to 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes.

By the way, if you're reheating a frozen breakfast sandwich, first put it in the fridge to thaw overnight. Then, you can reheat it the same as I described above - in the microwave, oven, or toaster.
