How should you prepare steak from the freezer?

Sous vide in the Mississippi River over the course of a week.

I don't see how you get a good sear on a frozen piece of meat.

They aren't suggesting you freeze a fresh steak to cook it. They are saying if you have to start with a frozen steak you shouldn't defrost it. In order to get the sear they use about a half inch of oil. They found the frozen steak retained more moisture than the thawed steaks, cooked more evenly, and cut out the defrosting time.

Not unheard of to intentially freeze steaks and cook them right out of the freezer

Microwave for 3 minutes per side

Slow cook, low heat frozen steak turns out pretty good. Somewhere on here I posted a link for slow cook, low heat method.

So the Paul Allen of steaks. No thanks

Nathan Myhrvold, of “Modernist Cuisine,” did a video with Melissa Clark at the NY Times to demo his method for searing frozen steak in a cast iron pan with oil, followed by a super-low cook in the oven.

I've never tried it, but he made it work.
