Instructions

To make McDonald’s bagel sauce:

1. Place the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, and dill in a small bowl.
2. Stir until well combined.

To cook the McDonald’s Steak Bagels:

1. Slice the bagels in half and spread butter on both halves. 
2. Put a skillet over medium heat and place the bagels cut-side-down in the pan to crisp up. Unless you use a big pan or griddle, you’ll need to toast the bagels in batches. Alternatively, you can use a toaster. Set the toasted bagels aside for later. 

3. While the bagels are toasting, you can slice half an onion. 
4. After the bagels are toasted, add some butter to the hot pan and saute the sliced onions until they’re translucent. Save for later. 

5. Combine the ground chuck with the Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Use your fingertips to work the seasoning into the meat gently. 
6. Separate the seasoned ground beef into four equal portions. Form each portion into a half-inch thick round patty. Set them aside until needed. 
7. Wash your hands well.
8. Wipe out the pan and place it over medium-high heat until hot. 
9. Cook the patties in the pan for three minutes on each side or until cooked through. Again, depending on the size of your pan, you’ll probably need to cook in batches. Put the cooked patties on a baking dish covered with aluminum foil to keep the meat warm. 

10. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel and add some butter.
11. Melt the butter over low heat. While the butter is melting, whisk the four eggs in a bowl. 
12. Pour half of the beaten eggs into the pan and use a rubber spatula to scramble slightly. Then leave the eggs alone until the surface is mostly dry. 
13. Fold the eggs in half and place two pieces of cheese side by side on the eggs. Cover the pan with a lid until the cheese melts.
14. Use the spatula to cut the eggs in half. Transfer each half onto the top of a reserved patty. 
15. Repeat with the remaining eggs and cheese.

To assemble a Mcdonald’s steak bagel:

1. Spread some of the sauce on each side of the toasted bagels. 
2. Put a beef patty with the egg and cheese on one half of the bagel and top with the other half. Repeat for the remaining sandwiches.
3. Serve immediately. 

Remember to let the sandwiches cool slightly before biting in. The cheese can be very hot!

• Use pre-sliced cheese to speed up assembly.

Storing your bagel sandwich is easy:

1. Wrap each sandwich tightly in foil or plastic wrap.
2. Keep in the fridge for up to 2 days.
3. To reheat, remove the wrapping and microwave for 30-45 seconds.

For best results, store components separately:

• Keep cooked steak patties in an airtight container in the fridge.
• Store toasted bagels at room temperature in a bread bag.
• Refrigerate any leftover sauce in a small jar.

This way, you can quickly assemble fresh sandwiches whenever you’re hungry!
