Calamari Steak

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Preparing the Calamari Steaks

  1. 1

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour mixed with salt and pepper in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second bowl, and bread crumbs in the third bowl.

  2. 2

    Bread the Calamari

    Take each calamari steak and first coat it in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and finally coat it with bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  4. 4

    Cook the Calamari

    Carefully add the breaded calamari steaks to the hot oil and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 5

    Prepare the Rolls

    Slice the twin sandwich rolls in half and lightly toast them if desired.

  2. 6

    Spread the Mayonnaise

    Spread 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise on the inside of each roll.

  3. 7

    Add the Lettuce and Tomatoes

    Place 2 leaves of leafy lettuce on the bottom half of each roll, followed by 2 slices of tomato.

  4. 8

    Add the Calamari

    Place a breaded calamari steak on top of the tomatoes on each sandwich.

  5. 9

    Finish and Serve

    Top each sandwich with the other half of the roll and serve immediately.
