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 shrimp, pat dry and season all over with seasoning blend. Follow same instructions as steak strips in Step 2, cooking until shrimp reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 2-3 minutes per side

  • If using ground pork, cook with seasoning blend in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat, breaking up with a spoon until no pink remains, 5-7 minutes. Remove to a plate and wipe pan clean. Start Step 2, omitting the steak strip directions.

  • If using ground beef, cook with seasoning blend in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat, breaking up with a spoon until no pink remains, 4-6 minutes. Remove to a plate and wipe pan clean. Start Step 2, omitting the steak strip directions.
