McDonald's Beefs Up Its Breakfast Menu With Steak

To shake up the bacon-or-sausage duopoly of the morning, McDonald’s says 9,600 restaurants nationwide will now serve any of its breakfast sandwiches with steak. That’s right: steak and eggs at McDonald’s. The red meat also recently made its way onto menus at Dunkin’ Donuts, which last week introduced a limited-time Angus Steak Big N’ Toasted breakfast sandwich. Because sometimes, shockingly, you just don’t want bacon.

As part of McDonald’s “steak on any” breakfast option, consumers can now pay to add steak to an Egg McMuffin, a McGriddles sandwich, an Egg & Cheese Biscuit, or an Egg & Cheese Bagel. They can also substitute steak for sausage in any platter, such as the Hotcakes & Sausage combo. It’s a premium item—the Steak McMuffin, for instance, costs $3.49 in New York, compared with $2.49 for a regular McMuffin. The chain started rolling out the steak option last month.
