It makes the meat tough. If you like a fast lazy tough steak, have at it. It’s charcoal all the way for me.

if you like microwaved steak, you’ll love lutefisk!

“...heat the meat first in a microwave”

Sounds very painful. I’ll stick with foreplay, thank you very much.

[ought-six]

Not a chance: I grill mine over lump hardwood coals.

Idiot

"When you cook it directly from the fridge..."

Never do that. Let the steak warm up to room temperature first.

[Adder]

That’s a stupid idea. Bring it to room temp then throw the heat to it.

It’s a steak, not an eggo..,treat it with the respect you paid for.

And, yes...charcoal all the way.

I would try an immersion cooker if I had one, but steak would cook very uneven and very tough in a microwave.

I find the best way to handle steak is to defrost it in water brought to a boil. Then wrap it up in tinfoil and put in the over at 370F for thirty minutes if the steak is thin.

LOL! Just no.

[bigbob]

Some say just carry the steak past the stove and call it good..

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

This is your brain on drugs.

Pretty much.

Should the meat be allowed to come up to room temperature? Probably.

Should you do that by putting it in a microwave that will partly cook it?

No.

And as for the not salting it?

Of course not.

[goodnesswins]

I don’t own a microwave

[chrisinoc]

Air frying a steak is the way to go.

[Vahan1987]

No, just, no. Microwave doesn’t taste as good as a conventional oven or grill.

[Fester Chugabrew]

I’m not too particular about this kind of thing, because the only steak I can afford these days is tube steak, and even that is expensive.

[bk1000]

There is something to the idea of salting after the flip. Salt can impede browning. Also I agree one should not put cold meat on a hot grill, but you let it sit on the counter for a bit to come to room temp. Not in the microwave, for heavens sake!

[Blue Highway]

I like grilling frozen steaks
