The thing that lists instructions, amounts, and steps to prepare a dish is the recipe card. It acts as the kitchen guide, laying out the exact ingredients with their measurements and the sequence of actions needed to cook the dish. It might also include cooking times, temperatures, equipment notes, yield, and serving suggestions to help you reproduce the dish consistently.

A nutrition label is about the nutritional content per serving, not how to cook. A menu lists the dishes available to customers, not the cooking steps. A product specification describes the properties and standards of a product, not the method for preparing a dish. So the recipe card is the document that provides the necessary instructions and quantities to prepare the dish.
