Meatlovers! If using protein, cook in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tsp. olive oil. If using antibiotic free chicken breasts, pat dry. Cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side. If using filets mignon, 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. If using yellowtail, pat dry. Add yellowtail, skin-side up first, and cook until fish reaches minimum internal temperature, 3-4 minutes per side. Fish thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner filet, we recommend checking for doneness sooner. Add protein to meal as desired.
