Hey, I think I found the mystery meat for the McD's "steak":



It's called Steak EZE Breakaway Sirloin intended for Philly Cheesesteaks.



Former corporate chef Mike Haracz has explained why McDonald's will never sell onion rings, and now he's back with yet another tip for fans of the fast food chain's specific menu offerings. This time, he's telling lovers of the mostly discontinued (but occasionally available in select markets) breakfast steak, egg, and cheese bagel sandwiches what kind of meat they'll need to recreate the menu item. Haracz has made a name for himself on TikTok by sharing these kinds of secrets, and it seems his video had many users excited about the possibility of making their own McDonald's copycats in the comfort of their own homes.

Haracz prefaces his big reveal with the disclaimer that the product is largely available in food service packs — meaning it's designed for restaurants and comes in large quantities. So what's the name of this elusive steak that McDonald's uses for its breakfast bagels? It's made by a brand called Steak-EZE and the specific product the chain uses is the Break Away Sirloin Beef Steak, Lightly Marinated. According to the text overlay, the portion size is 3 ounces, which sounds like the perfect amount to fill up a bagel sandwich.

Chef Mike Haracz cautioned that in order to make the most authentic version of the McDonald's steak, egg, and cheese bagel it is important not to get fooled by competitor brands or accidentally grab the wrong product by the same brand. He mentioned beef sheets specifically as being a totally different thing that won't get you the same end result. Per his usual method, he states that he checked the ingredients on McDonald's website to ensure that he is recommending the right product. While Haracz didn't tell his audience where they could specifically buy the Steak-EZE Break Aways, quite a few commenters relayed that they had found it or something similar enough at Walmart and Sam's Club.

In addition to making sure that you've got the right kind of steak pieces, Haracz also gave away the flavoring secret: Montreal Steak Seasoning. The suggestion may seem a little surprising, but he assures viewers that he has confirmed that it's correct with friends who still work for the chain.

Really? To me, it kinda looks like Waygu beef that goes for hundreds of dollars. Not saying it tastes the same, but lots of people on here drool over fatty meat that looks like that.

Waygu beef:

the “steak” you posted a picture of is machine processed meat and meat-food product. It ain’t wagyu beef

again why not use an actual steak cut from an actual beef muscle if cooking this at home?

OK, you have my attention. What cut and how to prepare it to be as tender and tasty as the one at McDonald's?

To be honest, that's better than what I thought it was. I was thinking it was steak-ums, which is really just all the scraps and buttholes and lips chopped and frozen into thin rectangular meat-type sheets.

They sell the steaks through Walmart. They are shipped and cost $153.99 for a case of 27.

That's $5.70 a piece!

No wonder McD's took them off the menu.

well that’s a low bar to clear but you have several options

1) buy a tenderloin roast, cut into thin steaks
2) buy a hanger steak, cut against the grain into thin steaks then tenderize with a meat mallet
3) buy a rib roast, cut into thin steaks and cut those in half to make smaller

in all cases, season with salt/pepper/Montreal seasoning and sear on a hot griddle or steel pan until GB&D

someone noted those fake steaks are $6 apiece LOL. That’s like 50 bucks a pound; literally any premium steak is in your price range compared to that

Looks like the Steak Egg & Cheese Bagel is back!

quote:

This week, breakfast bagels will return to McDonald's menus nationwide after the toasted sandwiches were discontinued during the pandemic.

The bagels are available in three varieties: bacon, egg and cheese; sausage, egg and cheese; and steak, egg and cheese. In particular, the steak, egg and cheese bagel, for $6.19, is made with a steak patty, egg, melted American cheese, grilled onions and a special sauce, according to Romero.
