Kori's Tips

  • Don't miss all of our helpful hints, substitution ideas, cooking tips, and other delicious recipes that can be found in our post. Check it out!
  • SUBSTITUTIONS: Use the seasoning mix and marinade on chicken, pork, seafood, or vegetables instead of steak. Cooking times will vary.
  • TOP TIPS: Always use a room temperature steak; Do not marinade your steak for more than 10 hours; Remove your steak 5 degrees cooler than your desired temperature and let the steak rest. The temperature will increase as it sits. 
  • SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve with a simple side salad, a blue cheese wedge salad, grilled or roasted vegetables, or a delicious casserole such as our zucchini carrot casserole. Top with roasted chili corn salsa.
