Customize It Instructions
-
If using customized protein, pat dry, and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.
-
If using sirloin steaks, follow same instructions as salmon in Step 4, cooking until steaks reach minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.
-
If using ahi tuna, follow same instructions as salmon in Step 4, cooking until tuna reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-5 minutes per side. Tuna is often enjoyed medium-rare (pink in the middle). For medium-rare, cook 1-2 minutes per side. Consuming raw or undercooked tuna may increase your risk for food-borne illness.
