Citric Acid Free Whole30 Everything-Seasoned Steak and Eggs Plate
Steak and eggs is already a power move of a meal, and this version takes it up a notch with a homemade everything seasoning that coats each New York strip in a savory, seed-studded crust before it ever hits the pan. The blend of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, and dried onion comes together in minutes and delivers serious depth of flavor without any packaged blends that might sneak in unwanted additives. Searing the steaks in a cast iron skillet over high heat builds that gorgeous, crackling crust while keeping the interior perfectly juicy — and the same pan goes right to work on the eggs, so cleanup stays minimal. Roasted cherry tomatoes round out the plate with a naturally sweet, blistered bite that makes the whole thing feel restaurant-worthy. For anyone navigating a citric acid sensitivity, this recipe is a genuine win because every single component is built from scratch using whole, straightforward ingredients — no sauces, no marinades, no seasoning packets with hidden preservatives. It's the kind of hearty, satisfying plate that works just as well for a weekend brunch as it does for a post-workout dinner, and it comes together with the kind of confidence that only a hot cast iron skillet can give you.
