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 20 oz. steak strips, follow same instructions as 10 oz., working in batches if necessary. 

  • If using shrimp, pat dry. Cook until pink and shrimp reach minimum internal temperature, 2-3 minutes per side.

  1. 1

    Prepare Steak Strips and Make Sauce

    Pat steak strips dry. Coarsely chop, then separate pieces. Season all over with 1 tsp. olive oil, half the garlic pepper (reserve remaining for vegetables), and 1 tsp. pepper.

    In a mixing bowl, combine garlic sesame sauce, cornstarch, soy sauce, honey, and 1/2 cup water. Stir until smooth. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook Steak Strips and Prepare Vegetables

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add steak strips to hot pan. Stir occasionally until no pink remains and steak strips reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Rest, 3 minutes.

    Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

    While steak strips cook, break broccoli into bite-sized pieces using hands.

    Remove stem, seeds, and ribs, and cut bell pepper into 1/2" dice.

  3. 3

    Cook Vegetables and Heat Rice

    Return pan used to cook steak strips to medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add bell peppers, broccoli, remaining garlic pepper, and 1/4 cup water to hot pan. Stir occasionally until tender, 6-8 minutes.

    While vegetables cook, carefully massage rice in bag to break up any clumps. Remove rice from packaging. Place rice in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 Tbsp. water. Cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave until warm, 2-3 minutes.

    Fluff rice with a fork.

  4. 4

    Add Sauce and Finish Dish

    Add steak strips and sauce to hot pan with vegetables. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until sauce has thickened and steak and vegetables are evenly coated, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner.
