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

  • 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 the Ingredients

    Stem and mince cilantro.

    Zest and halve lime. Cut one half into wedges and juice the other half.

    Quarter potatoes.

    Pat steaks dry and season both sides with half the amarillo seasoning (reserve remaining for butter) and 1/4 tsp. salt.

  2. 2

    Roast the Potatoes

    Place potatoes on prepared baking sheet and top with 1 Tbsp. olive oil and 1/4 tsp. salt. Massage oil and seasoning into potatoes. Spread into a single layer.

    Roast in hot oven until browned and tender, 25-27 minutes.

    While potatoes roast, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steaks

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add steaks to hot pan and cook until steaks reach desired doneness, or 3-4 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. Transfer steaks to a plate and cover with foil. Rest, 3 minutes.

    While steaks cook, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    Place another medium non-stick pan over medium heat.

    Add cream cheese and 1/4 cup water to hot pan. Stir occasionally until combined, 1-2 minutes.

    Add pesto (to taste) and shredded cheese. Stir often until combined and bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until sauce is slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.

    If too thick, add additional water, 1 tsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Remove from burner.

  5. 5

    Make Amarillo Cilantro Butter and Finish Dish

    In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, remaining amarillo seasoning, 1/2 tsp. lime zest, cilantro, and 1 tsp. lime juice.
