What is a calamari steak?  Around here (southern CH, ten minutes from the
Italian border) they come either whole (cleaned or uncleaned), bodies and
tentacles separated or in rings.
N.B. If it's one, it's a calamaro.  Calamari is the plural form.

You can also cook it longer (as in black risotto, which uses cuttlefish
rather than squid, which are more or less the same as regards cooking) as
long as you sear it first over high heat.

P.S.  Recipe looks nice, I'll have to try it next time I pick up some squid.
The spray's going to be a problem to find around here, though.  Olive oil
should make a good substitute.
