Cinnamon Free Whole30 Smoky Paprika Steak and Eggs Plate
This is the kind of plate that makes a weekday morning feel like a serious occasion — smoky, satisfying, and built entirely from whole, clean ingredients. Skirt steak gets rubbed down with smoked paprika, cumin, garlic, and onion powder before hitting a screaming-hot cast iron skillet, where it develops a deep, caramelized crust that's genuinely hard to beat. The same pan does all the heavy lifting: charred bell peppers and onion come next, picking up all those savory drippings, followed by perfectly cooked eggs that round out the plate with richness. Because the spice blend is built from scratch right here, there's no guessing about what's hiding in a pre-mixed seasoning packet — every ingredient is visible, intentional, and free of anything you're avoiding. Slicing the steak against the grain keeps it tender, and a handful of fresh parsley and a splash of hot sauce at the end add brightness without complicating things. It's a high-protein, flavor-forward meal that works just as well for a weekend brunch as it does for meal-prep purposes.
