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

Customize It Instructions

  • Meatlovers! If using protein, cook in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tsp. olive oil.

  • If using antibiotic free chicken, pat dry. Cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  • If using filets mignon or sirloin steaks, pat dry. Cook until steak reaches desired doneness, or 4-6 minutes per side for medium/medium-well. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

  • If using salmon, pat dry. Add salmon, skin-side up first, and cook until salmon reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side.

  • Add protein to meal as desired.

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients and Toast Panko

    Trim woody ends off asparagus. Cut into 2" pieces.

    Stem and mince tarragon.

    Zest lemon, halve, and juice.

    Halve and peel shallot. Cut into 1/4" dice.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Add half the butter (reserve remaining for sauce) to hot pan. Stir occasionally until butter smells "nutty," turns golden, and brown flecks appear, 4-6 minutes.

    Add panko and stir occasionally until golden-brown, 1-2 minutes.

    Transfer panko to a heat-safe mixing bowl. Wipe pan clean and increase heat to medium.

  2. 2

    Cook the Asparagus

    Add 2 tsp. olive oil, asparagus, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper to hot pan. Stir occasionally until tender, but still crisp, 8-10 minutes.

    If asparagus are thinner than a pencil, check for doneness sooner.

    Remove from burner.

    While asparagus cook, continue recipe.

    Cook the Gnocchi

    Line a plate with a paper towel.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil.

    Transfer gnocchi to towel-lined plate. Keep pan over medium heat; no need to wipe clean.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Add 2 tsp. olive oil and shallots to hot pan. Stir occasionally until slightly tender, 2-3 minutes.

    Add flour and stir until no dry flour remains. Add cream base, mushroom base, and 1/4 cup water. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, add 1/4 tsp. lemon zest, 2 tsp. lemon juice, tarragon, and remaining butter. Stir occasionally until combined and slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.

    If too thick, add additional water, 1 tsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
