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) |

- Chicken 165° F |
- Ground Beef 160° F |

If using antibiotic free chicken, pat dry. Cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.
-
If using sirloin steaks, pat dry. Cook 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.

1 Start Potatoes and Prepare Ingredients
Place potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave covered until tender, 5-7 minutes.
While potatoes microwave, halve lemon lengthwise. Cut one half into wedges and juice the other half.Trim and thinly slice green onions.Pat pork dry and season all over with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper. If you receive a whole pork tenderloin, pat dry and, on a separate cutting board, slice into medallions, 3/4"-thick.Carefully remove potatoes from microwave. -
2 Finish the Potatoes
Transfer potatoes to a clean work surface. Using the flat side of an object, press down gently to smash each potato until 1/2" thick. Potatoes will be hot! Use caution.
Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add butter. Let melt, 30-60 seconds.Working in batches if necessary (there should be no overlap in pan), add smashed potatoes to hot pan. Season with 1/4 tsp. salt and savory seasoning. Cook until browned, 2-3 minutes per side.Remove from burner.While potatoes cook, continue recipe. -

Add pork to hot pan and cook until pork reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 3-5 minutes per side.Medallion thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner medallion, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.Remove from burner. Transfer pork to a plate. Rest, 3 minutes.Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean. -
