Recreated prompt

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote one from what it describes. The result shown is the source's, not ours.

What the prompt labels mean

The person didn't share their exact words, so we wrote this from what they described. We haven't tested it, and they didn't use this exact version.

Here is a photo of a package of meat I just found on sale. What is it, and how should I grill it based on the weight on the label? Suggest one easy side I can pick up in this store. Later I'll send a photo of my grill's knobs, so tell me which burners to use, at what heat and for how long.

Optional stronger version

Our rewrite with extra checks. The poster didn't test it.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about the details below and wait for my answers. Once I've answered, confirm the plan in one line and run the whole task start to finish.

Goal: Turn an unplanned store find into a grill plan matched to my actual grill.

Questions to ask me first:
- What does the label say (cut, weight, marinade)?
- Which grill do I have?
- How many people am I feeding?

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Meat photo: [PHOTO OF PACKAGE]
- Grill: [MAKE / MODEL OR PHOTO OF KNOBS]
- Servings: [NUMBER]

Rules:
- Give a safe internal temperature to check with a thermometer.
- Use my grill's actual burner layout, not generic advice.
- Keep the side dish to items I can buy now.

Checkpoint: Confirm what the meat is before giving cook times.

If you get stuck: If the photo is unclear, ask for the label text.

Verify before you finish: Times and heat levels match the weight and the burner layout shown.

Output: A short grill plan with burner settings, timing and one side dish.

Done when: Dinner is on the grill without a recipe search.

Gemini

Outcome

Shopping for the Fourth of July with no plan, Lestan D'Souza photographed pre-marinated pork steaks on sale and asked Gemini what they were; it identified them and gave a grill plan based on the weight, then suggested kale slaw as a side, picked up before leaving the store. At home, a photo of the knobs on a Weber Genesis got burner-by-burner instructions for which knobs to turn, to what heat and for how long. D'Souza called them the best pork steaks yet, and the family agreed.
