Fondue Surf'n Turf

Inspired by the classic garlic butter from steakhouses, this fondue elevates the art of dipping! We've added a splash of cream to create a smooth and velvety blend that coats each bite to perfection.

Surf and turf come together in this indulgent experience where shrimp, scallops and beef are grilled to golden perfection before taking a dip into this flavourful bath.

Recipe created especially for the Dip and Grill.

  • Ingredients for the fondue

    • 350 ml (1 ½ cups) salted butter

    A Few Notes

    • Although the Dip & Grill surface is non-stick, foods benefit from a little vegetable oil to optimize their cooking.
    • This recipe is absolutely delicious with all kinds of seafood: crab, lobster, oysters, squid… Ride the wave!
    • Have leftover garlic butter after the meal? It can be frozen in cubes and will come in handy for making butter pasta in a flash, preparing garlic bread, or serving with your next lobster dinner!
