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
  1. 1

    Start the Risotto

    In provided tray, combine rice, marinara, 1/4 cup water, garlic salt, and a pinch of pepper.

    Evenly top with dollops of cream cheese. Cover tray with foil. Cream cheese will melt as meal bakes.

    Bake covered in hot oven, 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the Steaks

    Pat steaks dry.

    After 10 minutes, carefully remove tray from oven. Uncover and stir in 1/4 cup water, peas, half the Parmesan (reserve remaining for finishing risotto), and a pinch of salt. Tray will be hot! Use a utensil.

    Push risotto to one side of tray. Transfer steaks to now-empty side of tray and season with steak seasoning.

  3. 3

    Bake Meal and Make Pesto Butter

    Bake uncovered in hot oven until steaks reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 13-18 minutes.

    Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

    While meal bakes, in a mixing bowl, combine softened butter and pesto. Set aside.

    Carefully remove tray from oven. Rest, 3 minutes.

    Transfer steaks to a plate. Stir remaining Parmesan (reserve a pinch for garnish) into risotto to combine.

    To serve, slice steak, if desired. Top risotto with steak and garnish with pesto butter and remaining Parmesan. Bon appétit!
