Rye Free Whole30 Salsa Verde Steak and Eggs Plate

This plate is a full, satisfying meal built around bold, real-food ingredients — seared skirt steak with a smoky cumin-paprika crust, charred peppers and onions, golden fried eggs cooked in ghee, and a bright homemade salsa verde that ties everything together. The salsa is the real star here: tomatillos and jalapeños are simmered until tender, then blended with cilantro, garlic, onion, and fresh lime juice into a tangy, slightly smoky sauce that you'll want to spoon over everything. Skirt steak gets a hard sear in a cast iron skillet over high heat, building that deep brown crust that makes the whole dish feel restaurant-worthy without much fuss. Because every component is made from scratch using whole, unprocessed ingredients, there's no need to scan labels for hidden grain-based additives or fillers — what you see is exactly what goes on the plate. Grain sensitivities can make bold, saucy dishes tricky since so many store-bought salsas and spice blends sneak in unexpected ingredients, but this recipe keeps everything clean and straightforward. Serve it with sliced avocado and a squeeze of lime and you've got a plate that's hearty enough for a weekend brunch or a serious weeknight dinner.

Instructions

1
Place the tomatillos, jalapeños, and unpeeled garlic cloves in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook for 8–10 minutes, until the tomatillos turn from bright green to a dull, olive-green color and are completely tender when pierced with a fork.
2
Drain the tomatillos, jalapeños, and garlic, discarding the cooking water. Peel the garlic cloves. Transfer everything to a blender along with the chopped onion, cilantro, lime juice, and 1/2 tsp salt. Blend on high for 20–30 seconds until smooth but with a little texture remaining. Taste and adjust salt. Set aside.
