Basic Breaded Steaks

Breaded Abalone Steaks are probably the most the most common and easiest way to cook ab.
Ingredients Preparation
  • One or two abalone, cut and pounded
  • Seasoned Bread Crumbs **
  • Two eggs, beaten
  • Cooking oil
  • Garlic Cloves - optional
 Cut your cleaned AB into either strips or round steaks. (The rounds look much more impressive, the strips are easier to cut.) Pound the steaks until limp. Don't pound too hard or you'll tear the steaks.

Arrange your prep area: Pounded AB next to bowl of beaten eggs next to plate with bread crumbs next to plate for breaded AB It may seem unnecessary to mention this but it will make the process much easier. Also, if you use two forks to move the AB between the eggs and crumbs will be less messy.

Dip the AB steaks into the eggs then transfer to the bread crumbs. Turn a couple of times in crumbs to completely cover both sides. Press firmly to make the crumbs cover the AB well.

Fry in about 1/4 - 1/2 inch of hot oil about 20 seconds to a side. Turn back to first side for another 10 seconds. Drain well on paper towels and serve hot. If you really like garlic, you can flavor the oil before cooking the AB by throwing in many cut up garlic cloves. You must remove the cloves once brown before cooking the AB as they will burn and ruin the taste of the oil.

Leftovers are great in sandwiches, so don't worry about finishing up everything in one sitting.

** You can substitute plain crumbs and season them yourself to taste with garlic powder, onion powder and celery salt.
