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.

Before You Cook

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 diced chicken breasts, pat dry. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Core tomato and coarsely chop.

    Trim and thinly slice green onions.

    Pat steak strips dry. Coarsely chop, then separate pieces. Season all over with pot roast seasoning and a pinch of pepper.

  2. 2

    Start the Risotto

    Place a medium pot over medium-high heat and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil.

    Add corn, half the green onions (reserve remaining for garnish), and a pinch of salt and pepper to hot pot. Stir occasionally until corn starts to brown, 2-3 minutes.

    Add rice and stir occasionally until rice is toasted, 1-2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Finish the Risotto

    Add 1 cup boiling water from small pot to hot pot with rice. Rice should just be covered by water. Stir often until nearly all water is absorbed.

    Add 1/2 cup boiling water from small pot and stir often again until nearly all water is absorbed. Repeat this process, stirring often, 18-20 minutes.

    Taste risotto as you cook, checking for tenderness. When rice has no more “bite” or crunch, it's done. There may be water left.

    Remove from burner. Stir in cheese, sour cream, 1/2 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper until melted and combined. Cover and set aside.

  4. 4

    Cook the Steak Strips

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

    Add steak strips to hot pan and stir occasionally until browned, 3-4 minutes.

    Add 1/4 cup water, tomatoes, demi-glace, and a pinch of pepper. Stir occasionally until tomatoes break down slightly and steak strips reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 2-4 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Rest, 3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping risotto with steak strips and garnishing with remaining green onions. Bon appétit!
