Before You Cook

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 breasts, 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. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate.

    Rinse and drain banana peppers. Finely chop.

    Add potatoes and 1 Tbsp. water to a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave covered until potatoes are tender and can easily be pierced with a knife, 4-6 minutes.

    Larger potatoes may need extra time.

    Carefully remove bowl from microwave and drain any excess water.

    While potatoes microwave, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Pat pork medallions dry and season all over with garlic pepper and a pinch of salt.

    If you receive a whole pork tenderloin, pat dry and, on a separate cutting board, slice into medallions, 3/4"-thick.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add pork medallions to hot pan and cook until pork reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 3-5 minutes per side.

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

    Remove from burner. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil. Rest, 3 minutes.

    Wipe pan clean and reserve.

    While pork rests, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Cook the Potatoes

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add microwaved potatoes to hot pan and gently press down with a spatula (or other flat utensil) to lightly smash the skins and create a flat surface. Cook until browned, 2-3 minutes on one side.

    Flip potatoes, add bacon, and cook until potatoes are slightly crispy, 2-3 minutes.

    Season with potato spice seasoning and a pinch of salt. Add cheese and let melt, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

  4. 4

    Make Sauce and Finish Dish

    Return pan used to cook pork to medium heat. Add cream base, banana peppers (to taste), white portions of green onions, and a pinch of pepper to hot pan. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, garnishing potatoes with green portions of green onions and topping pork with sauce. Bon appétit!
