I just moved into my new studio apartment with cooking facilities and decided to break in the kitchen by whipping something up. This inspiration made us go to the nearest hypermarket to pick up some stuff for pasta. I wanted a hybrid seafood and red meat dish – squid and beef, so here’s the surf and turf pasta!
You will need:
- Fresh whole squid
- Aussie beef steaks
- Enochi mushrooms
- Fresh white button mushroom
- Broccoli
- Whipping cream
- Perfect Italiano Mozzarella cheese slab
- Tatura butter
- McCormick Garlic Pepper Seasoning Grinder
- McCormick Italian Herbs
- McCormick Season All salt seasoning
- Heinz Garlic BBQ sauce
- Onions
- Garlic
- San Remo Vegeroni Spirals pasta
My friend started squashing the garlic…
…and chopping up the onions.
While I went to work marinating the Aussie beef with a mixture of Heinz Garlic BBQ sauce…
…before adding in some raw garlic and grinding some McCormick Garlic Pepper Seasoning into it.
I also gave it a good massage, Kobe style. This is The Turf (TM).
Prepare the broccoli by tearing it into manageable pieces and slice half the button mushrooms while keeping the other half whole.
Put everything onto a plate – it’s for the homemade sauce. This is supposed to be for the sauce base. Next – seafood!
The squid should be boiled – shake some salt into the water and just chuck the damn sotong into the pot.
Squid has this cartilage thing inside it so remember to pull it out after you’ve boiled it. This is The Surf (TM).
The next step is to cook the vegeroni spiral pasta in salted water.
While you’re waiting it to become al dente start stir frying the garlic, onion, enochi mushroom, broccoli, and button mushroom in LOTS OF BUTTER.
I used ½ a block of butter and if you want your pasta to taste as good as mine you’ll do the same. 😉
Shake in some Italian herbs to add some delicious hints to your sauce.
Add cream to the entire mixture…
…and chop off half the block of cheese into the pasta sauce.
I know, this is not going to win any Heart Healthy (TM) awards but it tastes fucking good okay?
Your pasta should be done by now so drain and put in a healthy amount of butter. Be generous! Go kung fu on the butter block and melt it in the pasta!
Got beef? Don’t look at me. Fry the goddamn thing. Put the heat on low and sear it so you won’t overcook it.
Now it’s time to chow down! Pour the pasta sauce into the butter saturated pasta, add in the beef and squid and serve!
Serving suggestion: Grind some pepper on top of the butter and eat while hot! 🙂
Fatti-licious!
SO FUCKING AWESOMEEE OMG!
eww… ur squid is gross! burst the whatever-that-is-storing-the-ink huh.
actually you should have clean it before cooking – pull off the head, cut away the eyes, remove the clear, sharp quill and last, the brown transparent skin. tada!! clean nice squid for cooking 🙂
food looks yummy, i thought of saying the squid look gross and miserable but was guessing that could probably be the way the ahmoh people do with their squid after all squid ink is getting famous nowadays. i on the other hand would clean my squid as clean and as white as possible as can be seen on my cookblog :))))
ah had always love your food posts! hahaha but im guessing your friend likes vege? since you rarely have veges on your cooking adventure. Hehe
Dude, I like your dining table, totally sixthseal style, …now lets show some legs .I remember one of your cooking post with a long legged lenglui sitting across.
so much work for dinner..
HB Dude Man you cooking again? Glad you got an apt. with kitchen at last. I try to save time by chopping up onion, green onions, and other ingredients up and put it in zip lock bags in freezer to use when needed.
It same for curry vegetable cut up and stick in freezer for busy guy life style. With steaks season it with sauce and spice stick in freeze and defrost in ref.in morning before head to work and night ready at night for cooking.
i will definitely try your recipe out and revert with feedback
I was just wondering what that bottle of Absolut was doing among all your ingredients on the table.. Drink n’ cook is somehow safer than drinking and drive huh? =P
HB, glad you are cooking again. I have a easy recipe for Beijing Duck. 1 roast duck brought from shop, Mandarin pancake you can get frozen and slice up green onions. Hoy Sein Sauce or Sweet Bean Paste mix with a little sugar.
Slice duck meat and skin from bone of duck and keep for later for soup or jook. Heat up pancake and serve with duck meat and green onion.

holey shit, hb!!! that is gross. not the squid, we call it bait, also on the east us coast. ( Cut it into rings and call it calamrie. 12 usd an appetizer) the surf part, well, no I love oysters, shrimp, and my fav- deep water scallops broriled in butter. I have liver problems, ( well, was supposed to die in ’99. what were you doing in ’99). never cared for caviar ( fish eggs). in fact, tastes like , well, shit. I am sitting her trying to think of something that would gross you out…. Liver mush, mayo, soft scrambled eggs…. well I don’t know … but would you believe I like grape jelly on that sandwich? Still, my favrorite dish is cheap mac and cheeese ( the two for buck kind) add two cans of tuna… feed four for 2. I like it, called tuna hot dish. ewwew… God bless, HB….Tom

I love rare beef, but not sheep, hog ( proscutio, is by the way, raw county ham— it has worms… like — well like rare or raw beef—? )Well in any event, the commerciaized holidays are upon us. Here is a recipe for egg nog. Six eggs, whisk the youks with cinnimon, nutmeg, and sugar. and vanilla. careful.. that stull contains alcohol… mean while, fluff the egg whites in a mixing bowl. add about a 1/2 gallon of milk ( the real kind, not skim). taste… mumm , pretty good… . now combine.. add a dollop of bourbon…, or rum, .. Hey… who is watching the kid’s… well… they are what we teach em… thanks HB
I refrained from some of the not so nice stuff, like brains an eggs, chitlins, beef tounge, you dont waste nothing, an I am white! kind of. Blue chesse? but that got mold growing on it…
“I know, this is not going to win any Heart Healthy (TM) awards but it tastes fucking good okay?”
Hmm…I was reading up your archives and I didn’t remember you ever featuring anything healthy… -_-‘
You sure you didn’t win some kinda “unhealthiest blogger” award? :S
tom: Heh! Yeah, the squid was going quite cheap, we didn’t really have a choice, the selections at the hypermarket was pretty limited. 🙁
Take care my friend, I have a bad liver too. 🙂
ahlost: Haha! Hope you liked it! 🙂
You can always tapau in! 🙂
tom: Thanks for the egg nog recipe! I’ll check it out. 🙂
Cheers: Haha! Maybe subconciously I do? 😉
Ya, I realized that everything I’ve cooked is incredibly unhealthy. 😉
