Nitrate & Nitrite Free Whole30 Everything-Seasoned Steak and Eggs Plate
Steak and eggs is already a power move for breakfast or dinner, and this version takes it somewhere genuinely special with a homemade everything seasoning that coats each New York strip in a crackling, seed-studded crust. The blend of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, and dried onion comes together in minutes and delivers that everything-bagel flavor without a single processed ingredient or hidden additive. For anyone navigating nitrate and nitrite concerns, cured and processed meats are usually the first thing to avoid — so building a satisfying, protein-packed plate around fresh strip steaks and whole eggs is a smart and delicious workaround. A screaming-hot cast iron skillet gives the steaks a deep, caramelized sear, while blistered cherry tomatoes roasted until their skins burst add a bright, jammy contrast to all that richness. Fried eggs cooked in the same pan pick up every bit of flavor left behind, making cleanup easy and every bite cohesive. Finished with a scatter of fresh chives, this plate looks like something you'd order at a weekend brunch spot — except you made it entirely from clean, whole ingredients you can trust.
