Pork Free Whole30 Smoky Paprika Steak and Eggs Plate

Smoky, sizzling, and deeply satisfying, this skirt steak plate is the kind of meal that makes a weeknight feel like a proper occasion. The steak gets rubbed down with smoked paprika, cumin, garlic, and onion powder before hitting a screaming-hot cast iron skillet, building a dark, caramelized crust that locks in all that bold flavor. Sliced against the grain and plated alongside charred bell peppers and onions — cooked right in the same pan — every component earns its place. Sunny-side up eggs round out the plate with rich, runny yolks that act almost like a sauce when they break over the steak strips. Every ingredient here is straightforwardly clean: beef, eggs, vegetables, avocado oil, and spices — nothing to second-guess, nothing to swap out. It's the kind of plate that works just as well for a hearty breakfast as it does for dinner, and a drizzle of hot sauce at the end ties the whole thing together beautifully.
