Nutmeg Free Whole30 Smoky Paprika Steak and Eggs Plate

Smoky, sizzling, and deeply satisfying, this steak and eggs plate is the kind of breakfast-for-any-meal that makes you feel like you've got your life together. Skirt steak gets rubbed down with smoked paprika, cumin, garlic, and onion powder before hitting a screaming-hot cast iron skillet, building a gorgeous crust that locks in all that bold, savory flavor. The same pan does triple duty — searing the steak, charring sweet bell peppers and onion until they're soft and caramelized, then crisping up sunny-side eggs with golden edges and runny yolks. Every single spice in this recipe is a clean, single-ingredient pantry staple, so there's no hidden nutmeg lurking in a pre-mixed seasoning blend to worry about. That matters more than it sounds, because nutmeg has a sneaky way of showing up in spice mixes, sausage seasonings, and even some hot sauces — here, you control every element from start to finish. A scatter of fresh parsley and a hit of your favorite hot sauce pull the whole plate together with brightness and heat. It's a bold, protein-packed meal that tastes like it came from a serious brunch spot, made entirely in your own kitchen.
