8 steps
  1. 01

    Pat the top loin beef steak dry and season it with the salt and black pepper.

  2. 02

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the top loin beef steak until well browned on both sides and cooked to your preferred doneness, then let it rest for a few minutes.

  3. 03

    Toast the white bread in a low oven at 160°C (320°F) until warmed through and lightly crisp.

  4. 04

    In the same skillet, cook the bacon until crisp, then warm the ham just until lightly browned.

  5. 05

    Fry the eggs until the whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny or cooked to your liking.

  6. 06

    Lay the mozzarella cheese over the rested steak and return it to the warm pan briefly so the cheese softens and begins to melt.

  7. 07

    Spread the mayonnaise and mustard on the bread. Add the romaine lettuce and tomatoes, then layer on the ham, bacon, cheesy steak, and fried eggs.

  8. 08

    Close each sandwich with the remaining bread and serve immediately while hot.
