Equipment

- 9×13-inch baking dish
Ingredients
- 1 lb Calamari steaks 4 whole steaks
- 3 tbsp All purpose flour
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- ¼ cup Finely grated parmesan cheese
- 1 Large egg
- 1 tbsp Rinsed and drained capers
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- Lemon wedges
- 1-½ tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Water
- ¼ tsp Black pepper
Instructions
- Take a large skillet and add olive oil to it then heat it on medium-high flame until it is completely hot but is not smoking.
- In the meantime, take a bowl and add black pepper, grated parmesan cheese, and all-purpose flour in it. Stir the three of them together. Take another bowl and add water and egg to it. Beat them slightly.
- Then take a calamari steak and drudge it into the flour mixture. Shake off the excess of the flour. Then give it a dive into the egg mixture. Let the excess of the mixture drip down and then place the steak on a plate or a dish. Repeat the same with the second steak.
- Place both the steaks you prepared into the skillet with hot olive oil and saute them. Keep the flame somewhat high. Saute both sides for 1-2 minutes each, or wait until the side turns golden brown and then turn over to the other side.
- When the steaks are done cooking, transfer them out of the skillet. Place on a platter and cover them to keep warm. Repeat the same with the remaining 2 steaks, dredge, dunk, and saute.
- Remove the excess fat that has gathered in the skillet. Then add butter, lemon juice, and capers. Cook them at medium heat until the butter melts. It will take 45-60 seconds.
- When the lemon caper sauce is ready, pour it on the calamari steaks. The mouth-watering calamari steak is ready. Bon Appetit!
Notes
Tips for Success:
- Don’t Overcook: Overcooking is the problem for a calamari steak to be not so tender. It just needs a few minutes on each side.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Petty garlic, lemonade, and coriander are the primary three aromatic agents that can significantly alter the flavor of the dish.
- Experiment with Flavors: You can add some new spices like thyme and rosemary or perhaps even a dash of white wine to the frying sauce.
