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 until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Trim woody ends off asparagus. Cut into 1/2" pieces.

    Place potatoes on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave until tender, 5-6 minutes.

    Carefully remove from microwave. Carefully halve potatoes lengthwise. Potatoes will be hot! Use caution.

    While potatoes microwave, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steaks

    Pat steaks dry and season both sides with half the garlic salt (reserve remaining for vegetables) and a pinch of 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. Transfer steaks to a plate and cover with foil. Rest, 3 minutes.

    While steaks cook, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Cook the Vegetables

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

    Add potatoes to hot pan, cut-side down, and cook until crisp, 3-4 minutes per side.

    Add minced garlic and lemon basil, asparagus, remaining garlic salt, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Stir occasionally until asparagus are tender, 3-4 minutes.

    If asparagus are thinner than a pencil, check for doneness sooner.

    Remove from burner.
