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) |

  • Ground Turkey 165° F |

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Stem poblano, seed, and cut into 1/2” dice. Poblano peppers can vary in spice level; most are mild, but a few can be quite hot. Wash hands and cutting board after prepping.

    Separate steak strips into a single layer and pat dry. Season all over with seasoning blend.

  2. 2

    Cook the Peppers and Steak

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add poblano and a pinch of salt to hot pan and stir occasionally until tender, 3-4 minutes.

    Add steak strips and stir occasionally until starting to brown, 2-3 minutes.

    Add wine and cook until almost completely evaporated, 30-60 seconds.

    Add demi-glace and stir occasionally until sauce coats mixture, no pink remains on steak, and steak reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Rest, 3 minutes.

    While steak cooks, heat rice.

  3. 3

    Heat the Rice

    Remove rice from packaging and place in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 Tbsp. water. Cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave until warm, 2 minutes.

    Fluff rice with a fork.

  4. 4

    Make Creamy Salsa and Finish Dish

    In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream and salsa (to taste).

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping rice with peppers and steak and garnishing with creamy salsa. Bon appétit!
