Walnut Free Whole30 Smoky Paprika Steak and Eggs Plate
This is the kind of plate that makes a weekend morning feel like an event — smoky, satisfying, and built entirely from whole, clean ingredients. A bold spice rub of smoked paprika, cumin, garlic, and onion powder gets seared into a skirt steak over screaming-hot cast iron, creating a deeply caramelized crust that's hard to beat. The same pan does double duty, picking up all those drippings to soften sliced bell pepper and onion until they're tender and lightly charred at the edges. Sunny-side up eggs round out the plate with rich, runny yolks that act almost like a sauce when they hit the steak. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of tree nuts, so there's no label-reading or substitution anxiety involved — just straightforward, flavor-forward cooking. A handful of fresh parsley and a splash of hot sauce at the end keep things bright and a little punchy. It's a complete, protein-packed meal that earns its place on the regular rotation.
