Whole 30 Whole30 Smoky Paprika Steak and Eggs Plate
Smoky, satisfying, and built entirely from real-food ingredients, this skirt steak and eggs plate is the kind of meal that makes clean eating feel genuinely exciting rather than like a compromise. The steak gets a bold rub of smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder before hitting a screaming-hot cast iron skillet, building a deep, caramelized crust that's hard to beat. While the steak rests, the same pan does double duty — softening sliced red bell pepper and yellow onion until they're lightly charred and fragrant, then crisping up four sunny-side eggs in avocado oil. Every component is cooked in avocado oil and seasoned with nothing but spices and salt, so there's no guesswork about hidden sugars, dairy, or off-plan additives sneaking into your plate. Sliced against the grain and fanned out alongside the jammy eggs and sweet-smoky vegetables, this is a two-serving meal that looks like something you'd order at a weekend brunch spot. A scatter of fresh parsley and a hit of compliant hot sauce tie everything together without any extra effort.
