--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   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.
