Cook steaks from frozen not thawed!

[saevel25]

I might have to give this a try.

Interesting. I might try this as well.

Not me.  I'm not going to fry my steaks in a half inch of oil.

In a pan? Are you serious? I can't believe it!

I regularly grill frozen steaks.  When lighting the grill, I lay down a sheet of aluminum foil. When the grill gets to 400 degrees, I put the frozen steak down on the foil.   For an inch and a half thick ribeye, I go 5 minutes, flip, 5 minutes, flip, 5 minutes more , flip and 5 minutes more.  Remove the foil and finish over the flame until the correct internal temperature.

 

Finishing over the flame gives it the charcoal taste/carbon scoring but cooking from frozen seals in the juices.

Get a sous vide machine, problem solved.  I have an Anova, kicks ass.

Cast iron skillet makes the best steaks. That is, if you want to taste the meat more than the grill.

Agree on the sous vide.  Great way to cook.  But, it requires planning and time.  When I get home and decide I'd like a steak, the frozen method works great.

In some browned butter!

Steak is so overrated.

No post on this forum has ever made me wish for a "downvote" button more. 

I'll definitely have to try this...

Agreed. My sales vp guy I work on new biz development got me some really nice steaks from Allan brothers for Christmas. Made them in a cast iron skillet from almost room temp. Used a tiny bit of grape seed oil (high smoke point). Fineshed them with a bit of butter. OMG! I've eaten at some very good steakhouses and I have to say these may have been best I've ever tasted. Not because I'm such a great chef but the quality of meat and aging. I want more! Actually have a few left still.

I learned something tonight.  Apparently Trolls don't like steak.

I too thought that seemed odd, but I don't think the method requires it.

Precisely.

I've tried steaks cooked by many methods. Each have their pro's and con's. 

My favorite right now is the sous vide machine. The one method I want to try is cooking a steak directly on some chunk charcoal. I saw a video where Alton Brown did this. Another method is to put a grate onto of a chimney starter. You can get some serious concentration of heat.

A friend of mine has one and swears by it. Someday I'll take the plunge.

The video suggests that it does.

Regardless, I'll stick with the tried and true.  There's a reason that fine steak houses don't cook their steaks while frozen.  Or, for that matter, freeze them in the  first place.

Now, now.  Let's not respond too harshly.  

When someone makes a statement that outrageous, we need to feel sorry for him.    One can only imagine the horrible things that have happened in his life to lead him to this point of despair.  Therapy, not condemnation.  That would be the kind response.
