Heather’s recipe tips
- You can also use leftover steak for these sandwiches.
- This filling also works well on a hearty sub roll or bread.
- This is a great recipe to make on a griddle or the Blackstone. If you don’t have a griddle, use a non-stick skillet.
How to store
You can store any leftover steak mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Make sure to let it completely cool before storing.
Common questions
Yes, you can use sliced steak or even a sausage patty.

This was amazing. For the sauce, I added 1tsp lemon juice and 2 tsp (to taste) steak sauce. I really like steak sauce so yea.
Could this be made ahead and frozen for breakfast meal prep? I’m always looking for options for my teenagers in the morning! Thanks!
Yes, you could make it ahead, wrap it and freeze it for meal prep. Thanks!
My families new favorite Sunday breakfast
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.
Isn’t the breakfast sauce more of a hollandaise sauce … is mustard the right choice and flavor?
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
This recipe was easy and so good. I will definitely make this again.
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.
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.
Amazing and so delicious!
