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 antibiotic free chicken, pat dry. Cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  • If using sirloin steaks, 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 the Potatoes

    Place potatoes and 1 Tbsp. water in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave covered until tender, 8-12 minutes.

    Carefully remove potatoes from microwave.

    Using the flat side of an object, press down gently to smash each potato until 1/2" thick. Potatoes will be hot! Use caution.

    While potatoes microwave, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Steaks

    Pat steaks dry. Season both sides with garlic pepper, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Steak coloration may vary upon arrival due to packaging processes; steak quality and flavor will not be impacted.

  3. 3

    Roast the Vegetables

    Place potatoes on prepared baking sheet. Massage 1 Tbsp. olive oil, half the garlic salt (reserve remaining for broccoli), and a pinch of pepper into potatoes. Spread into an even layer.

    Evenly top potatoes with broccoli and remaining garlic salt.

    Roast in hot oven until broccoli is tender and potatoes are golden-brown, 10-15 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven.

    While vegetables roast, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Cook the Steaks

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Working in batches if necessary, add steaks to hot pan and cook until steaks reach desired doneness, or 3-5 minutes per side for medium/medium-well.

    Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

    Remove from burner. Rest, 3 minutes.

    While steaks cook, continue recipe.

  5. 5

    Make Crema and Finish Dish

    Place butter in another microwave-safe bowl.

    Microwave uncovered until melted, 15-30 seconds.

    Carefully remove from microwave. Stir in sour cream and a pinch of salt and pepper until combined.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping steak with crema. Slice steak, if desired. Bon appétit!
