BHA & BHT Free Whole30 Smoky Paprika Steak and Eggs Plate
Skirt steak rubbed in smoked paprika, cumin, garlic, and onion powder, seared hard in a cast iron skillet until a deep brown crust forms — this is the kind of plate that makes a weeknight feel like a serious occasion. The vegetables get cooked in the same pan, picking up all those charred, smoky drippings, while sunny-side up eggs round everything out with rich, runny yolks. Every single ingredient here is a whole food or a pure spice, which matters a lot when you're avoiding synthetic preservatives like BHA and BHT that sneak into packaged seasonings, spice blends, and processed oils. Avocado oil is the only fat used throughout, and it's naturally free of those additives — no label-squinting required. Slicing the steak against the grain after a proper rest keeps every strip tender, and a hit of hot sauce at the end ties the whole plate together. It's a genuinely satisfying, protein-forward meal built entirely from ingredients you can trust.
