Seed Oil Free Whole30 Smoky Paprika Steak and Eggs Plate
Skirt steak gets a bold spice rub of smoked paprika, cumin, garlic, and onion powder before hitting a screaming-hot cast iron skillet, and the result is a deeply crusted, juicy cut that tastes like it came from a serious kitchen. Every component — the steak, the sautéed peppers and onions, the fried eggs — is cooked entirely in avocado oil, which means no canola, no vegetable oil, and none of the industrial seed oils that make so many restaurant-style plates a hard pass. Avocado oil's high smoke point is actually perfect for this technique, giving you that gorgeous sear without burning or off-flavors. The charred bell pepper and onion soak up the leftover fond and paprika in the pan, turning into a sweet, smoky pile that ties the whole plate together. Fried eggs cooked to order finish things off, making this feel like a proper diner breakfast or a satisfying dinner depending on when you pull it together. A handful of fresh parsley and a hit of hot sauce at the end keep it bright and lively without adding anything you'd need to second-guess.
