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 20 oz. steak strips, follow same instructions as 10 oz. steak strips, working in batches, if necessary.

  • If using sliced pork, follow same instructions as steak strips in Step 3, stirring occasionally until browned and sliced pork reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes.

  1. 1

    Roast the Fries

    Cut potatoes into 1/2"-thick fries. Pat dry.

    Place fries on prepared baking sheet and toss with 2 tsp. olive oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Massage oil and seasoning into fries.

    Spread into a single layer and roast in hot oven until golden brown and tender, 25-28 minutes, flipping once halfway through.

    While fries roast, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Caramelize the Onions

    Halve and peel onion. Cut halves into 1/4" strips.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add onions to hot pan and stir occasionally until browned, 10-15 minutes.

    If pan becomes dry, add water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, as needed.

    Add balsamic vinegar (reserve 1/2 tsp. for dipping sauce), half the fig spread (reserve remaining for dipping sauce), and a pinch of salt. Stir often until mixture reaches a jam-like consistency, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    While onions caramelize, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steak Strips

    Pat steak strips dry. Coarsely chop, then separate pieces.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add steak strips, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper to hot pan. Stir occasionally until no pink remains and steak strips reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

  4. 4

    Toast the Sandwiches

    Carefully remove baking sheet from oven. Push fries to one side. Baking sheet will be hot! Use a utensil.

    In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise and mustard.

    Spread mustard aioli on cut side of bottom buns. Place bottom buns on now-empty side of baking sheet. Top with steak strips, caramelized onions, and cheese.

    Toast in hot oven until cheese is melted, 2-3 minutes.

    While sandwiches toast, continue recipe.

  5. 5

    Make Dipping Sauce and Finish Dish

    In another mixing bowl, combine ketchup, a pinch of pepper, remaining fig spread, and reserved balsamic vinegar.

    Carefully remove sandwiches from oven. Rest, 3 minutes.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping sandwich with top bun and serving sauce on the side for dipping fries. Bon appétit!
