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.

  • If using filets mignon, 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.

  • If using salmon, pat dry. Add salmon, skin-side up first, and cook until salmon reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side. 

  1. 1

    Cook the Pork

    Pat pork medallions dry. Season all over with a pinch of salt and garlic pepper. 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 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add pork to hot pan. 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.

    Wipe pan clean and reserve.

    While pork cooks, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Toast the Panko

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

    Add panko and a pinch of salt to hot pan. Stir occasionally until slightly toasted, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Transfer panko to a mixing bowl.

    Stir in half the cheese (remaining is yours to use as you please!) until combined. Set aside.

    Wipe pan clean and return to medium heat.

  3. 3

    Cook the Green Beans

    Trim green beans, if necessary, and halve.

    Add 2 tsp. olive oil, green beans, seasoned salt, a pinch of pepper, and 1/4 cup water to hot pan. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, cover and cook until water is mostly evaporated and green beans are tender, 3-5 minutes.

    If green beans need more time, add 2 Tbsp. water, cover, and stir occasionally, 1-3 minutes.

    Uncover and stir often until slightly browned, 2-4 minutes.

    Stir in butter (to taste) until melted and combined, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    While green beans cook, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Make Sauce and Finish Dish

    Mince garlic.

    Return pan used to cook pork to medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add garlic to hot pan and stir occasionally until fragrant, 30-60 seconds.

    Add pesto, creme fraiche, 1/4 cup water, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, reduce heat to medium-low. Stir occasionally until sauce is slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.

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

    Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping pork with sauce. Garnish green beans with panko-cheese mixture. Bon appétit!
