Ingredients

  • For the Garlic Noodles:
  • 8 oz spaghetti or egg noodles
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce (optional)
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • ¼ cup chicken broth (or reserved pasta water)
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • For the Surf & Turf:
  • 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 8 oz each)
  • ½ lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles: Boil noodles until al dente. Drain, reserving ¼ cup cooking water. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the steak: Pat steaks dry, season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Sear in skillet with 1 tbsp butter + 1 tbsp olive oil, 3–4 minutes per side (medium-rare). Rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
  3. Cook the shrimp: In the same skillet, add remaining oil and butter. Season shrimp and cook 1–2 minutes per side until pink. Remove and set aside.
  4. Make garlic noodles: In a clean skillet, melt butter. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, and broth. Toss noodles to coat. Add Parmesan and green onions, tossing to combine.
  5. Assemble: Plate noodles, top with sliced steak and shrimp, sprinkle with Parmesan and green onions, and finish with a squeeze of lemon.

Notes

  • Swap shrimp for lobster tails or scallops for a luxe twist.
  • Use ramen or udon noodles for extra chew.
  • Add chili crisp or sriracha for heat.
  • Toss in mushrooms or spinach for extra veggies.
  • Make dairy-free with plant-based butter and omit or replace Parmesan.
