Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using antibiotic free chicken, pat dry. Cook in a medium non-stick pan with 2 tsp. olive oil over medium heat until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  • If using filets mignon or sirloin steaks, pat dry. Cook in a medium non-stick pan with 2 tsp. olive oil over medium heat 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.

  • If using salmon, pat dry. Cook, skin-side up first, in a medium non-stick pan with 2 tsp. olive oil over medium heat until salmon reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side.

  1. 1

    Start the Green Beans

    Trim green beans, if necessary.

    Place green beans and 1/4 cup water in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a damp paper towel.

    Microwave covered until slightly tender, 5-7 minutes.

    Carefully remove from microwave and drain any excess liquid.

    Transfer green beans to provided tray and toss with 2 tsp. olive oil, garlic pepper, and a pinch of salt. Push to one side of tray. Wipe bowl clean and reserve.

    Add Pork and Bake Meal

    Pat pork medallions dry and season all over with 1 tsp. olive oil, garlic and parsley seasoning, and 1/4 tsp. salt.

    Place pork medallions in empty side of tray.

    Bake uncovered in hot oven until green beans are tender and pork medallions reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 14-16 minutes.

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

    Carefully remove from oven. Rest, 3 minutes.

    While meal bakes, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Make Crema, Assemble Salad, and Finish Meal

    In reserved microwave-safe bowl, combine butter and creme fraiche.

    Microwave uncovered until butter is melted, 10-15 seconds.

    If too thick, add additional water, 1 tsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Coarsely crush walnuts.
