Smoky, sizzling, and deeply satisfying, this steak and eggs plate is the kind of meal that makes you feel like you're eating at a serious brunch spot — except you made it yourself in one cast iron skillet. Skirt steak gets rubbed down with smoked paprika, cumin, garlic, and onion powder before hitting a screaming-hot pan, building a dark, caramelized crust that locks in all that bold flavor. The same skillet does triple duty: searing the steak, charring sweet bell peppers and onion until their edges go golden and jammy, then crisping up eggs to sunny-side perfection. Every ingredient here is naturally free of yeast and fermented additives, so there's no label-scanning or substitution gymnastics required — just whole, clean food that tastes genuinely indulgent. Slicing the steak against the grain is the small move that makes every bite tender rather than chewy, and it's worth the extra thirty seconds. A handful of fresh parsley and a hit of hot sauce at the end pull the whole plate together with brightness and a little heat. This is the kind of recipe that earns a permanent spot in your weekend rotation.

Pat the skirt steak dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, kosher salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the steak.
Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over high heat until the oil just begins to smoke. Add the steak and sear undisturbed for 3–4 minutes, until a deep brown crust forms on the underside and the steak releases easily from the pan.
