DH made this a few months ago and I never got around to posting it. He said he really enjoyed it and wants to make it again soon. So, I thought I would share it here. I just used a link so you all could see the picture. lol
3 tablespoons mayonnaise, preferably Hellmann’s
2 Boston lettuce leaves, rinsed and patted dry with paper towels
4 slices bacon, cut in half crosswise
2 beef steaks, each 3 to 4 ounces and cut or pounded 1⁄4 inch thick
Coarse salt (kosher or sea) and freshly ground black pepper
2 slices Jack or mild cheddar cheese, each about 1 ounce
2 large eggs
1 luscious red ripe tomato, thinly sliced
Spread the cut sides of the rolls with mayonnaise. Line the bottom half of each with lettuce leaves.
Step 2: Put the bacon strips in a cast iron skillet and cook over medium heat until the fat has rendered and the bacon is crisp and golden brown. Transfer the bacon to a folded paper towel to drain, but leave the skillet on the heat. Place 2 strips of bacon on each sandwich on top of the lettuce.
Step 3: Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat until cooked to taste: 2 minutes per side for medium. Place the steaks on the sandwiches and top with cheese.
Step 4: Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry in the bacon fat until crisp and browned, 2 minutes on the first side, 1 minute on the second side. Slide the eggs onto the cheese.
Step 5: Top the eggs with the tomato slices and a little more salt and pepper. Close the sandwiches and cut in half for serving.
