Steak and Cheese Bagel Sandwich

Steak and Cheese Bagel Sandwich:

4 onion bagels

2 lb. shaved steak

1 1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. pepper

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 tsp. onion powder

8 slices of American cheese or cheese of your choice

Toast bagels. Optional step: wrap in aluminum foil for about 5 minutes to soften crust slightly.

Heat a large skillet on medium high. To put a good sear on the steak, you don't want to crowd the pan. Add half of the shaved steak and half of the seasonings. Cook until steak is no longer pink. Divide steak into 2 piles. Add two pieces of cheese on each pile and loosely cover with a lid or foil, avoiding touching cheese. Remove skillet from heat and allow to sit for a couple minutes until cheese melts.

Transfer the steak and cheese piles onto 2 bagels and assemble the first two sandwiches. Loosely cover with foil to keep warm. Cook the remaining steak and assemble the remaining two sandwiches. Makes 4 sandwiches.
