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 |

  1. 1

    Start the Beef

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp. olive oil, ground beef, and seasoning blend to hot pan. Break up meat until no pink remains and beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

    Stir in gochujang (use less if spice-averse) and teriyaki glaze until combined, 1-2 minutes.

    If sauce is too thick, add 2 Tbsp. water, if desired. Remove from burner.

    While beef cooks, make slaw.

  2. 2

    Start the Slaw

    In a mixing bowl, combine slaw mix, vinegar, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Stir vigorously, 1 minute.

    Let rest, 3 minutes.

    After 3 minutes, add dressing and stir to combine. Set aside.

  3. 3
