Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 Abalone Steaks
3 Tablespoons Butter
1 Tablespoon Oil
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 Tablespoon Lemon juice
2 Sprigs Parsley

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.
