6 to 8 1 ounce abalone steaks

1/2 cup flour

clarified butter

Lightly pat steaks dry with a paper towel. Coat both sides of steaks with flour,

shake off excess. Pour enough clarified butter into a preheated skillet; cast

iron works best, to cover bottom. Place enough abalone in the skillet to cover

the bottom. Cook for 30 to 60 seconds on each side until golden brown. Serve

immediately. Place 3 to 4 steaks on each plate, spoon sauce onto plate or into

cleaned abalone shell; garnish with lemon wedge and parsley. Serves 2.
