Your Key Ingredient: 

NESCO Double Burner

Grocery Ingredients:

Steaks

2 New York Steak strip steaks
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil

Shrimp

2 tablespoons butter
8 ounces deveined

Garlic Cream Sauce

1 tablespoon butter
4 cloves garlic
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup fresh shredded parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Burner 1:

Pat steaks dry with paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steaks for four to five minutes each side until browned and cooked to desired doneness. Transfer steaks to a warm plate to rest.

Burner 2:

Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and sear about two minutes until just cooked and pink. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

To the same skillet, the shrimp cooked in, make the garlic cream sauce. Add butter and garlic. Sauté about one minute.

Pour in the broth, and allow to reduce to half, while scraping any burnt bits off the bottom of the pan.

Reduce heat to low-medium. Add the cream and bring to a simmer, while stirring occasionally. Add in the parmesan cheese; allow to melt through the simmering sauce. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.

Add the shrimp back into the pan and gently mix to coat shrimp.

Serve over steaks and sprinkle with parsley.


Wisconsin Fish Fry With Chimichurri Sauce

Wisconsin Fish Fry With Chimichurri Sauce

If you know Wisconsin, you know there’s nothing quite like a Wisconsin fish fry. For your next big fry, we’ve got you covered with a classic midwestern recipe. Your NESCO Deep Fryer cooks faster and uses less oil than traditional deep fryers, so you can enjoy flakey, crunchy fish every time. Even the most loyal tartar sauce fans can’t pass up our added chimichurri sauce for an extra kick of flavor.

Your Key Ingredient:

NESCO Deep Fryer

Grocery Ingredients:

Fresh Cod, white fish, or panfish fillets

Batter

1 cup flour
1 cup COLD water
1/2 cup COLD seltzer
1 egg
Season to taste (salt & pepper, Lawry’s, or Old Bay)
Oil for fryer

Chimichurri Sauce

1 shallot, chopped
1/2 cup cilantro
1/4 cup parsley
1 Tbsp oregano
4 garlic cloves chopped
Salt and pepper
1/3 cup Red Wine Vinegar
Lime juice (zest if you want a more citrus pop)
3/4 cup olive oil or grapeseed oil
Jalapeño or poblano pepper (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat NESCO® Deep Fryer to 385 degrees.
  2. Mix batter and use quickly, don’t make a large batch unless you have many fryers and hands to fry large amounts of fish at a time. Batter will lose its effervescence and get too sticky.
  3. Dip fillet in the tempura batter and put several pieces in the frying basket. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until golden-brown and cooked through. Repeat until finished.
  4. For the chimichurri sauce, combine and blend together with an immersion blender to a pesto-like consistency.
