This is the kind of plate that makes a weekend morning feel like a serious occasion. A boldly spiced skirt steak gets rubbed down with smoked paprika, cumin, garlic, and onion powder before hitting a screaming-hot cast iron skillet, building a deep, caramelized crust that locks in all that smoky flavor. Charred bell peppers and onions cook right in the same pan, picking up all those leftover drippings, while perfectly fried eggs round everything out into a complete, satisfying meal. Every single ingredient here is straightforward and clean — no sauces, no broths, no seasoning blends with hidden fillers — so you never have to second-guess what's on your plate. For anyone avoiding fungi in their food, this recipe is naturally in the clear without any substitutions or workarounds required. Slicing the steak against the grain keeps every bite tender, and a hit of hot sauce and fresh parsley at the end pulls the whole thing together. It's a high-protein, flavor-packed plate that proves eating with intention doesn't have to mean eating boringly.

Pat the skirt steak dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, kosher salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the steak.
Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over high heat until the oil just begins to smoke. Add the steak and sear undisturbed for 3–4 minutes, until a deep brown crust forms on the underside and the steak releases easily from the pan.
