REVIEW: McDonald’s Steak & Egg Burrito

McDonald's Steak & Egg Burrito

By bringing together steak and egg together into a burrito, it sounds like McDonald’s is stepping into undiscovered breakfast menu territory. But it turns out McDonald’s is the Christopher Columbus of fast food steak and egg burritos, while Jack in the Box, Sonic Drive-In, Del Taco, Carl’s Jr., and McDonald's Steak & Egg Burrito Closeup

Now with that said, the shredded beef was tender, each burrito had beef from end to end, and it had a nice meaty flavor. It’s not bad for something that’s not steak. However, what gave this burrito most of its flavor was the salsa roja, which was a nice tomatoey and slightly garlicky sauce with a little spicy kick.

Including American cheese, which is the same stuff you’d find in a Big Mac, was surprising, and perhaps pepper jack or cheddar would’ve been better, but the American cheese was fine. As for the scrambled eggs, they really didn’t have any noticeable flavor. All they seemed to do for this burrito was give it some girth and allow this small breakfast item to have a double protein punch.

As much as I ragged on the McDonald’s Steak & Egg Burrito in this review, it’s tasty enough that I would order it again, and I prefer it over McDonald’s Sausage Burrito. If you decide to try it, I’d recommend buying two to fill you up (or maybe order an oatmeal), because it really is quite small.

Rating: 6 out of 10
Pros: Shredded beef has decent flavor. Salsa roja provides most of the flavor. Cheese, surprisingly, added flavor. A good source of protein. Lessons taught at the end of cartoons.
Cons: Its size makes a Taco Bell soft taco look bigger than it really is. Shredded beef isn’t really steak. Small. Awesome source of sodium. Eggs were almost flavorless. It’s more like a burito than a burrito. One isn’t filling.

  1. F’in gross. I still do not know how a human can ingest cooked eggs like that… And no, I’m not on a high horse, I just hate eggs.

    K? Thanks, bye.

    1. American eggs are all produced unnaturally in dirty nasty factory farms. if you ever had natural chicken eggs where chickens are treated with any humanity, those eggs are much better, look and taste better. the yolks are bright golden colored.

  2. Just tried one this morning. Your info is pretty much right on the money. The thing that disturbed me the most was the “meat”. I ended up taking it all out because I couldn’t stop thinking about my high schools “pot roast”.

  3. @ben – Not all eggs produced in america are industrially produced in nasty factory farms, and many if not most “non-American” eggs are too, I happen to sale farm fresh, free range, vegetarian fed eggs at a fair price and people love them.

    As for this product, I am not sure that shredded beef equals steak, but if it’s better than the orig, it could be worth investigating at least.

  4. McD’s steak burrito is a f^#@% joke! First bite, almost all tortilla…second bite, no steak…third bite little pieces of meat – they’re not even steak if you ask me. STAY AWAY!!!

  5. I really enjoyed the steak burritos and recommended return and stay on the Menu
