Steps:
- 1. Mix together ingredients for egg dip and put calamari steaks in to soak for 15-30 minutes
- 2. While steaks are soaking mix together breading ingredients. Start heating oil to shimmering. I use canola or vegetable and only enough to half cover the steaks. I do not completely cover in oil. Olive oil will throw the taste off completely. I speak from experience on that one.
- 3. Double Bread steaks, out of dip into breading, back into egg, back into breading.
- 4. Fry steaks until golden on one side then flip. About 2 1/2 minutes a side. DO NOT OVERCOOK or these will be like chewing rubber bands
- 5. Remove from oil, blot on paper towels.
- 6. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon. (bottled is ok if you don't have fresh) * Note: I served with a artichoke and will also have this recipe posted for your enjoyment

Steps:
- Whisk together bread crumbs, Parmesan, and cayenne in a shallow bowl, such as a pie plate. Beat one egg in a second small bowl. Dip calamari steaks first into the egg, allowing excess to drip off, and then into the bread crumb mixture. Set aside on waxed paper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium. Add the calamari steaks to the skillet, sprinkle top with a bit of lemon juice, then salt and pepper to taste, and cook no more than 3 minutes; don't move the steaks while they cook; they should release easily when the bread crumb coating is golden brown. Turn the steaks over, sprinkle with more lemon juice, salt and pepper, then lay a slice of provolone on top of each steak, cover and cook for another 3 minutes. Sprinkle parsley on top, garnish with lemon slices, and serve immediately.

LEMON CAPER CALAMARI STEAKS WITH BROCCOLINI
Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook garlic and red-pepper flakes, stirring, until golden, about 30 seconds. Add Broccolini and cook, turning with tongs, until coated with oil, then add water and salt and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a platter with tongs and keep warm, loosely covered with foil.
- Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. While oil heats, stir together flour, cheese, and pepper in a wide shallow bowl, then lightly beat egg with water in another wide shallow bowl. Dredge 1 calamari steak in flour mixture, shaking off excess, then dip in egg mixture, letting excess drip off, and transfer to a plate. Dredge another steak in flour and dip in egg in same manner, then sauté coated steaks over moderately high heat, turning over once, until golden, about 1 1/2 minutes total. Transfer to platter with Broccolini and keep warm, loosely covered. Dredge, dip, and sauté remaining 2 steaks in same manner, transferring to platter.
- Pour off fat from skillet, then add butter, lemon juice (to taste), and capers to skillet and cook over moderate heat just until butter melts, about 45 seconds. Pour lemon caper sauce over calamari steaks and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use fresh calamari steaks: Fresh calamari steaks have a delicate flavor and texture that is best enjoyed when cooked properly. If you are using frozen calamari steaks, be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
- Tenderize the calamari steaks: To tenderize the calamari steaks, you can use a meat mallet to pound them gently. This will help to break down the fibers and make them more tender.
- Marinate the calamari steaks: Marinating the calamari steaks in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will help to add flavor and moisture to the steaks.
- Cook the calamari steaks quickly over high heat: Calamari steaks should be cooked quickly over high heat to prevent them from becoming tough. Cook the steaks for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are just cooked through.
- Serve the calamari steaks immediately: Calamari steaks are best served immediately after they are cooked. You can serve them with a variety of dipping sauces, such as marinara sauce, tartar sauce, or lemon butter sauce.
