How long should I cook a small semi-frozen steak?

let it fully thaw out, stupid

45 minutes on high heat

Thanks.

Well I don't cook much. I guess I should have googled it.

If it's semi thawed and not thick, it won't take but a minute or so more than you usually cook it. Depends on how well or rare you want it, though.

Actually, I've cooked semi thawed steaks a few times to get a good sear on the outside of a thin steak without overcooking the inside.

I don't think the question was dumb.

Hope it turns out well. Not well done, mind you, unless you like it that way.

Toss it on a cold stainless steel skillet until it thaws. It won't take long at all.

Apparently there's some sort of reaction that will cause it to thaw faster that way than just about anything else that's not unsafely or nastily heating it otherwise. And apparently it needs to be stainless steel.

You can probably google this and find a good explanation for why this occurs. I just know I've done it after seeing something about it, and it works best.

Don't listen to these assholes man. Waffle house doesn't fully thaw. They go about 8 minutes on their T-bones.
