The next two recipes offer similar foundations for increased flexibility (beginning with caramelized onions, tomato, garlic, and wine), showcasing how easy it is to create your own flavor plays with ingredients you have on hand.


Greek Isle Chicken

Fully prepped chicken is folded into a savory base of ingredients and served over wilted spinach and cous cous for a delicious, warm, center-of-plate entree or can just as easily be served as a sandwich.


Tuscan Pulled Chicken

A collection of flavorful ingredients create wonderful depth of flavor without added salt. Simply fold chicken into this savory base to warm and then hold until serving as a center-of-plate protein or toasted sandwich.

No-Slicing-Necessary Steak Recipes

Putting steak options on the menu couldn’t be easier than with a complete line of steak products, including the Steak-EZE® brand from Tyson Foodservice. Marinated or unmarinated, fully cooked or uncooked, these pre-portioned and sliced options go from freezer to grill, allowing you to reduce prep steps and use only what you need when you need it.

The proof is in the sizzle. See how versatile these products can be in the next four crowd-pleasing recipes or used in additional applications like bowls, wraps, soups, and fajitas. Click to view the full recipes and demo videos.


French Onion Philly

French Dip meets Philly in this satisfying hoagie that doubles the flavor and cuts the work nearly in half with the use of Steak-EZE® BreakAway® Beef Steak.


Plum-Teriyaki Beef with Fried Rice

No-prep steak adds to the ease of stir-fry with fresh plum puree and teriyaki flavor. This version comes together in a flash using prepped veggies that can easily be swapped out with ingredients you have on hand, creating a versatile dine-in or to-go option.

The Carbonara inspiration behind the next two dishes—Alfredo sauce, bacon, and herbs—makes it extremely easy to menu these two items simultaneously or rotate to help keep your menu fresh.


Carbonara Steak Pizza

Create a specialty style pizza in no time with the added premium appeal of steak and layers of flavor-boosting elements that can be easily changed up. For a second pizza option, serve the French Onion Philly as a pizza.


Steak Carbonara Mac & Cheese

This cheesy, comforting dish creates a lot of wow with little work. Bake in individual portions or hotel pans to serve as an entrée or side dish.

Put your personal prep squad to work! When you use just a couple of our products—Tyson® ingredient chicken and Steak-EZE® brand steak, you take away prep and add more ease to your menu and back of house.
