Ingredients

Bagels – We are using plain bagels but everything, onion, poppy seeds, and cheese bagels also work great.

Steak – This recipes uses shaved steak. You could substitute with a small steak, just make sure to cook to your desired doneness.

Eggs – Allow for 2 eggs per sandwich. This recipe makes 2 sandwiches so a total of 4 eggs.

Cheese – I like American cheese but cheddar or provolone works well.

Onions – Half of a large white onion or small onion is all you need. You can also leave the onions out.

Butter – Unsalted butter is used to cook the onions, steak, and eggs.

Salt – Just a pinch needed for the onions.

Montreal steak seasoning – A seasoning blend for the steak. You can substitute with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Mayonnaise – Used to make the sauce for the bagel sandwich.

Mustard – Yellow mustard for the sauce.

Dried Dill – This adds a nice flavor to the sandwich sauce.

    Recipe is okay but would halve the mustard & skip the dill, the McD seems more like an Americanized hollandaise. 2 egg yolks, small splash of lemon juice (like half a teaspoon), 1 flat tsp dijon, tablespoon mayo and regular salted butter which should be melted hot and streamed in. Mix well, cook at lower heat (warning!) plenty for 2 sandwiches. It’s not a “proper” hollandaise anymore than Hellman’s is a proper mayonnaise but we’re talking McDonald’s. It’s basically a slightly fancied up butter.

      Yeah, the real sauce is hollandaise. my first job was at McDonald’s when I was 16! The sauce comes pre-packaged like most things there, but it is labeled as hollandaise sauce. I made this recipe this morning to try it out, but the sauce had a very potent, overpowering mustard taste. It was good, but nothing like the McDonald’s version. I will try it again, but with a hollandaise sauce

  2. I really appreciate how well put together your web page is. I love how when you explain the ingredients to the dish you show separate photos that contain the individual ingredients one step at a time. very helpful. This is actually the first website I seen do this, usually they have a video. And sometimes people don’t have the time to watch, so for you guys to show how to make the dish with just pictures is very helpful.

  3. 5 stars
    Very very yummy. Even though I made some small additions like I added onion, garlic powder, white and black pepper along with the Montreal steak seasoning with some zesty steak sauce and it tasted amazing.

    I was so hoping that this recipe would help me forget how McDonald’s broke my heart but it didn’t quite get there. It’s good and will do in a pinch. Thanks for posting.
