Comfort is the name of the game here. Not comfort as in “favorite pair of sweatpants” or “reading a dog-eared book by a roaring fire.” (Although both of those sound very comfortable!) No, we mean comfort food supreme: flavors that join together for a meal that soothes and satiates in equal measure. Sweet corn, seasoned steak strips, and warm tomatoes combined with creamy risotto makes for forkful after forkful of top-notch relaxation. Can anyone top us in the comfort game? We don't think so. Tip: To remove the core of a tomato, carefully make a circle with your knife around the stem, then remove circle.

Customize It Instructions
-
If using 20 oz. steak strips., follow same instructions as 10 oz., working in batches if necessary.
-
If using scallops, pat dry. Cook until scallops reach minimum internal temperature, 1-2 minutes per side. Scallops will vary in amount as they are portioned by weight. Don't worry, the sweet flavor and tender texture will be the same.
-
If using shrimp, pat dry. Cook until pink and shrimp reach minimum internal temperature, 2-3 minutes per side.
