How to Thaw Steak
You can thaw steaks quickly by using cold brine thawing, thawing on a thawing plate, or thawing in the microwave.

Method 1: Cold brine thawing.

First put the frozen meat in the freezer for 1-2 hours, the steak will start to soften, then put the steak in salt water to thaw thoroughly. The brine will speed up the melting of the ice and won't breed bacteria. It's the same thing as salting the roads to thaw them in the winter when it snows heavily.

Method 2: Thaw on a thawing plate.

Because the material of the defrosting plate has strong thermal conductivity, it can quickly exchange heat between the frozen steak and the air, thus accelerating the defrosting of the steak in a short period of time. Put on the defrosting plate for about five minutes, the steak has begun to soften, but remember to turn over, so that both sides can be evenly thawed. Defrosting plate price has high and low, often eat steak guests, home can prepare a better, usually thaw other meat is also very convenient.

Method 3: Microwave thawing.

The advantage of microwave defrosting is that the time is short, the general Western-style restaurant will be used in this way, usually only a few minutes of time, a little more advanced microwave oven also comes with a defrosting function, which is convenient and fast. The principle is that the microwave penetrates the frozen meat so that the water molecules in the meat vibration and friction, thus generating heat so that the temperature of frozen meat rises, to achieve the purpose of thawing the surface. The shortcomings of the microwave defrosting is to carefully control the heating time, otherwise excessive heating will make part of the frozen meat cooked.
