  2. Marinate the calamari steaks in oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, and herbs for 30 minutes or more before grilling for added flavor.
  3. Experiment with different seasonings, such as garlic powder, paprika, or herbs, to add variety to your calamari steak recipe.
  4. Coat the calamari in a flour mixture and fry for a crispy fried option.
