Yield: 2 Servings

2 Abalone steaks
3 tb Butter
1 tb Oil Salt Freshly ground pepper
1 tb Lemon juice
2 Sprigs of Parsley

Instructions:

Recipe by: Fannie Farmer Tenderize the abalone steaks by pounding with a wooden mallet. Use persistent firm strikes and flatten them to quarter inch thickness. Do not overcook or the abalone will become tough and rubbery. Thirty seconds to a side is enough. Less is better. Pat the abalone dry. Melt the butter with the oil in a large skillet. When the butter foams and is very hot add the steaks. Season with salt and pepper and fry 30 seconds on each side. Transfer to a warm platter drizzle with lemon juice and garnish with parsley.
