Turkey Free Whole30 Smoky Paprika Steak and Eggs Plate
This is the kind of plate that makes a weekend morning feel like a serious occasion. 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 bold, smoky flavor. While the steak rests, the same pan does double duty — softening sliced red bell pepper and yellow onion until they're tender and lightly charred at the edges. Sunny-side up eggs round out the plate, their rich yolks ready to mingle with every other element the moment you break them. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of poultry, so there's no need to scan labels or swap anything out — just straightforward, satisfying whole-food cooking. A scatter of fresh parsley and a hit of hot sauce at the end pull the whole thing together with brightness and a little kick. It's a complete, protein-packed meal that feels indulgent without straying an inch from clean eating.
