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

  • If using yellowtail, pat dry. Add yellowtail, skin-side up first, and cook until fish reaches minimum internal temperature, 3-4 minutes per side. Fish thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner filet, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

  1. 1

    Make the Mashed Potatoes

    Peel and cut potatoes into large evenly-sized chunks.

    Halve garlic.

    Bring a medium pot with potato chunks, 3 garlic halves (reserve remaining for butter), and 2 tsp. salt covered by water to a boil.

    Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook until fork-tender, 14-18 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Reserve 1/4 cup potato cooking water. Drain potatoes in a colander and return to pot. Add garlic salt and sour cream and mash until smooth. If too thick, add reserved potato cooking water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Cover and set aside.

    While potatoes cook, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Stem and mince tarragon.

    Trim woody ends off asparagus.

    Mince remaining garlic.

    Pat steaks dry and season both sides with garlic pepper and 1/4 tsp. salt.

  3. 3

    Make the Herb Butter

    Combine softened butter, remaining minced garlic (to taste), and half the tarragon (to taste; remaining is yours to use as you please!) in a mixing bowl.

    Form butter mixture into two equally-sized mounds. Refrigerate until plating.

  4. 4

    Cook the Steaks

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

    Add steaks to hot pan. Cook until steaks reach desired doneness, or 4-6 minutes per side for medium/medium-well.

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

    Remove from burner. Transfer steaks to a plate. Rest, 5 minutes.

    Wipe pan clean and reserve.

    While steaks rest, continue recipe.

  5. 5

    Cook Asparagus and Finish Dish

    Return pan used to cook steaks to medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add asparagus, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper to hot pan. Roll occasionally until lightly charred and tender but still crisp, 7-9 minutes.

    If asparagus are thinner than a pencil, check for doneness sooner.

    Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping steak with herb butter. Bon appétit!
