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 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 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

    Remove stem, seeds, ribs, and cut bell pepper into 1/4" strips.

    Trim zucchini ends, halve lengthwise, and cut into 1/4" slices on an angle. Zucchini quantity may vary, but total weight will remain the same. Don't worry; recipe instructions are not impacted. If you receive asparagus instead, trim off woody ends and cut into 1" pieces.

    Tear spinach leaves.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add bell peppers and zucchini to hot pan. Stir occasionally until lightly browned and tender, 6-8 minutes.

    If you receive asparagus, it may need more time. Add 2 Tbsp. water, cover, and stir occasionally, 1-3 minutes.

    Add lemon n herb seasoning, 1/4 tsp. salt, a pinch of pepper, and half the minced garlic and parsley (reserve remaining for sauce). Stir until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.

    While vegetables cook, continue recipe.

    Cook the Pork Chops

    Pat pork chops dry and season both sides with garlic pepper and 1/4 tsp. salt.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add pork chops to hot pan and cook until golden-brown and chops reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 3-5 minutes per side.

    Pork thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner chop, we recommend checking for doneness sooner. Transfer pork to a plate and tent with foil. Rest, 3 minutes.

    Keep pan over medium heat.

    Make Sauce and Finish Dish

    Add 1 tsp. olive oil, spinach, and remaining minced garlic and parsley to hot pan. Stir occasionally until spinach is wilted, 30-60 seconds.
