Notes
- Make sure the steak is sealed in a zip lock type plastic bag and as much of the air is removed as possible. This helps the warmth of the water to defrost the steak as quickly as possible.
- If there is more than one steak stuck together, as soon as you can break them apart, do so and then keep them in one layer for defrosting.
- If water gets into your bag, don’t worry. Just pour it out as quickly as possible and then seal it back up and keep allowing it to defrost,.
- Proceed with seasoning the steak when it is thawed completely.
- If the steak is already in a vacuum sealed bag, just place that into the water.
- Supposing you froze your steak in the styrofoam plate that it came from the store in, place the entire package into a zip bag and float upside down in the water. Check every 10 minutes or so and as soon as you are able to remove the packaging, do so, return to the zip bag and continue thawing.
