Sesame 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're eating at a serious brunch spot without leaving your kitchen. A bold spice rub of smoked paprika, cumin, garlic, and onion powder gets seared into a skirt steak over screaming-hot cast iron, building a caramelized crust that locks in all that flavor. The same pan does double duty for the charred bell peppers and onions, then finishes with perfectly cooked eggs — less cleanup, more payoff. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of sesame, so there's no need to audit labels or worry about hidden tahini or sesame oil sneaking in through a spice blend or cooking fat. Avocado oil carries all the heat beautifully and keeps things clean from start to finish. Sliced against the grain and fanned out alongside jammy eggs and sweet, smoky vegetables, this plate looks as impressive as it tastes. A handful of fresh parsley and a splash of hot sauce at the end tie everything together with a bright, punchy finish.
