Customize It Instructions

  • If using pork chops, follow same instructions as sirloin in Step 4, cooking until pork reaches minimum internal temperature, 3-5 minutes per side. Rest, 3 minutes. Pork chop thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner chop, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

  • If using ribeye steak, follow same instructions as sirloin in Step 4, cooking until steak reaches desired doneness, or 4-6 minutes per side for medium/medium-well. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner. Halve to serve.

  1. 1

    Roast Garlic and Start Potatoes

    Place garlic on a piece of foil and top with 1 tsp. olive oil. Form a pouch around garlic.

    Place garlic pouch directly on oven rack, opening side up, and roast in hot oven until tender, 15-20 minutes.

    While garlic roasts, cut potatoes into large evenly-sized chunks.

    Bring a medium pot with potatoes covered with water to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, 14-18 minutes.

    Drain potatoes in a colander and return to pot.

    While potatoes cook, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Roast the Zucchini

    Trim zucchini ends, halve lengthwise, and cut into 1/2" slices.

    Place on prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Spray evenly with cooking spray. Top with 1/4 tsp. salt, a pinch of pepper, and half the shredded cheese (reserve remaining for potatoes).

    Roast in hot oven until tender and cheese melts, 15-20 minutes.

    While zucchini roasts, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Finish the Potatoes

    After 15-20 minutes, carefully remove garlic pouch from oven. Transfer to a clean cutting board and let cool slightly, 3 minutes.

    Carefully mince roasted garlic.

    Return pot with potatoes to medium heat. Add 1/4 cup water, softened cream cheese, roasted minced garlic, remaining shredded cheese, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Mash until desired consistency is reached.

    Remove from burner. Cover and set aside.

  4. 4

    Cook the Steak

    Pat steaks dry and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add steaks to hot pan and cook until steaks reach desired doneness, or 4-6 minutes per side for medium/medium-well.

    Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

    Remove from burner. Rest, 3 minutes.

    Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

  5. 5

    Make Sauce and Finish Dish

    Return pan used to cook steaks to medium heat.

    Add 1/4 cup water, demi-glace, red wine vinegar, a pinch of salt, and balsamic glaze to hot pan. Bring to a boil.

    Once boiling, stir occasionally until sauce begins to thicken, 3-4 minutes.

    Remove from burner.
