Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Abalone: Thinly slice the abalone into 1/4-inch thick steaks. Trim away any dark or tough portions. Place the steaks between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat tenderizer until pliable and about 1/8-inch thick. (10 minutes)
02
StepMake the Cocktail Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, horseradish, and lime juice until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. (5 minutes)
03
StepPrepare for Frying: Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil is shimmering but not smoking. (5 minutes)
04
StepBread the Abalone: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk. Place the seasoned bread crumbs in a separate shallow dish. Dip each abalone steak into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge in the bread crumbs, ensuring they are fully coated. (10 minutes)
05
StepPan-Fry the Abalone: Carefully place the breaded abalone steaks into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. (10 minutes)
06
StepDrain and Serve: Remove the fried abalone steaks from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Arrange on a serving platter, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately with the chilled cocktail sauce for dipping. (5 minutes)
