Charcoal Steak, Spaghetti, Garoupa

I was inspired by my LNYE dinner to create an Italian version. What do you think?

1. Charcoal steak with garlic butter
2. Spaghetti with portabella mushrooms and baby spinach
3. Garoupa (grouper) fillet with Fra Diavolo Sauce

There was no recipe, just what I thought would go well together. I did my grocery shopping via Instacart. I had charcoal steak in my cart, but I was expecting an actual steak. She got me thin cut charcoal steak instead, so I had to make sure I didn’t overcook it. It was liberally seasoned with garlic powder and seasoned salt and left in the fridge overnight. It was quickly seared on both sides. It turned out very well.

All ingredients except for ground spices were fresh. I didn’t even use canned tomatoes or tomato sauce or paste, so the Fra Diavolo sauce was not very red, but it tasted good, and poaching the fish in it after it’s been cooked down worked well for the garoupa.
