Customize It Instructions
-
If using antibiotic free chicken, follow same instructions.
-
If using top round steak, pat dry. Steak coloration may vary upon arrival due to packaging processes; steak quality and flavor will not be impacted. Cook in a medium non-stick pan with 2 tsp. olive oil over medium heat until steak reaches desired doneness, or 3-5 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.

Alternatively, reserve half the raw carrots for snacking/serving on the side.Bake uncovered in hot oven, 15 minutes.While carrots bake, continue recipe. -
