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

    Toast Panko and Prepare Ingredients

    Coarsely chop pecans.

    Place a small non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add panko to hot pan. Stir occasionally until slightly browned and toasted, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner and stir in pecans until combined.

    While panko toasts, trim stems off Brussels sprouts and quarter.

  2. 2

    Cook the Brussels Sprouts

    Line a plate with a paper towel.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add Brussels sprouts, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 2 Tbsp. water to hot pan. Cover and stir occasionally until water is almost completely evaporated, 3-5 minutes.

    Uncover and stir occasionally until Brussels sprouts are browned and tender, 5-6 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Transfer Brussels sprouts to towel-lined plate.

    While Brussels sprouts cook, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Toast the Gnocchi

    Line another plate with a paper towel.

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

    Add gnocchi to hot pan. Stir occasionally until tender and golden brown, 5-7 minutes.

    Transfer gnocchi to second towel-lined plate.

    Keep pan over medium heat; no need to wipe clean.

  4. 4

    Make Sauce, Add Gnocchi, and Finish Dish

    Add butter to hot pan and stir occasionally until butter smells "nutty," turns golden, and brown flecks appear, 4-6 minutes.

    Add gochujang (to taste), cream base, cheese, and 2 Tbsp. water. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, add gnocchi and Brussels sprouts. Stir often until sauce is slightly thickened and gnocchi and Brussels sprouts are heated through, 2-3 minutes.

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

    Remove from burner.
