Squid Steaks ???

Steve-B

I have been looking for a source of squid and found one. The best I could find was was frozen tenacles and tubes. They also had squid steaks...???? What would I do with these? [p]Steve-B

RhumAndJerk,[p]Is a squid steak just tube cut lengthwise and laid out flat?

Steve-B,
I am not sure what a squid steak is, but sounds like a chunk of flesh from a really big squid. I have doubts as to how tender you can get this. I have had very little luck with larger squidlies. If the tubes are smaller than 7 or 8 inches, they are usually pretty tender.....but only if you grill as hot as possible. A blazing mini is the perfect tool, as the food is so close to the screaming coals. Good on the larger eggs too, just make sure you are screamin hot.[p]The "New Recipes" section has a five year old recipe :-) I posted for Eggfest High Temp Squid, er sumthin like that. Pretty much how I do em.[p]Let us know how they come out. Amazing how few folks cook squid.
Happy cookin

Nature Boy,
I think most of the folks out there are a little a'feared of thomething "slimey". Until they try squid it's hard to explain to them that the delicate falvor is less "fishy" than most fish andf that it can be areally good meal.
I've done mine in the wok and boy howdy do they come out tender!

Nature Boy,
someday ill try them on the egg, but there just so good fried. squid steaks sound like they would be like tire rubber tender though, stick with small ones

Steve-B,
I used to make squid steaks, I think. Take a squid body 8 to 10 inches long and cut it in two lengthwise. The meat is pliable enough that it will lie flat; hence the "steak" designation.[p]I liked to score the flesh with a sharp knife and marinate in teriyaki sauce. Then, just like NB said, grill 'em hot and fast. By the time you've laid grill marks, you're ready to flip. Cut into strips, they make a dandy pizza topping.[p]Ken

Nature Boy,
Hey Chris--I did some squid not long ago (with receipe help from you by the way) and put them on one of those round THIN aluminum throw away things from Wal Mart. Well I had the fire so hot, it melted the aluminum thing. I used the aluminum thing so I could turn them all over at one time. The ones that survived the melt down were good. See-Yaa

LoveHandles,
Oooo ya. I wudda definitely recommended against the aluminum! Sounds like you had the right kinda fire goin though! Thanks for the laugh!
