Citrus Free Whole30 Everything-Seasoned Steak and Eggs Plate
Steak and eggs is already a power move of a meal, and this version takes it to another level with a homemade everything seasoning that brings serious flavor without a single drop of citrus. The blend of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and flaky sea salt gets pressed firmly into each New York strip before it hits a screaming-hot cast iron skillet, building a crust that's deeply savory and genuinely impressive. While the steaks rest, blistered cherry tomatoes come out of the oven soft and jammy, adding a naturally sweet, roasted element that rounds out the plate beautifully. Eggs cooked in the same skillet pick up all those leftover drippings, making every bite feel intentional rather than thrown together. For anyone navigating a no-citrus approach, this recipe is a reminder that bold, satisfying food doesn't need a squeeze of lemon or a splash of orange to taste complete — the seasoning blend and high-heat technique do all the heavy lifting. Finish with a scatter of fresh chives and you've got a plate that looks like it came out of a serious brunch kitchen, made entirely at home.
