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

  • If using NY strip steak, pat dry. Cook until steak reaches desired doneness, or 4-6 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.

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients and Make Miso Butter

    Stem and tear cilantro leaves.

    Coarsely chop pecans.

    In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter and half the miso (reserve remaining for vegetables). Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Pat chicken dry and season both sides with garlic salt and a pinch of pepper.

    Evenly spread sesame seeds on a plate. Place chicken onto sesame seeds, pressing firmly to adhere to one side.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add chicken, sesame-side down first, to hot pan and cook until browned and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner. Transfer chicken to a plate and tent with foil.

    While chicken cooks, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Cook the Vegetables

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add 1/4 cup water and carrots to hot pan. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, cover and cook until water is mostly evaporated and carrots are tender, 3-5 minutes.

    Uncover and add 1 tsp. olive oil and Brussels sprouts. Stir often until lightly browned, 3-4 minutes.

    Add honey, remaining miso, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Stir until vegetables are coated.
