Xanthan Gum Free Whole30 Smoky Paprika Steak and Eggs Plate
Smoky, sizzling, and deeply satisfying, this cast iron plate delivers bold flavor from a handful of real-food ingredients you can feel good about. Skirt steak gets rubbed down with smoked paprika, cumin, garlic, and onion powder before hitting a screaming-hot skillet, building a caramelized crust that's genuinely hard to beat. The same pan does double duty for the sweet charred peppers and onions, then finishes with perfectly cooked eggs — minimal cleanup, maximum payoff. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of thickeners and stabilizers, so there's nothing to scrutinize on a label or swap out. Avocado oil carries the heat beautifully and keeps the whole cook clean and simple. A scatter of fresh parsley and a hit of hot sauce at the end ties everything together with brightness and just enough kick. This is the kind of plate that makes a clean, whole-food approach feel less like a restriction and more like a seriously good decision.
