Steak The method of quickly thawing a steak in 5 minutes makes use of the principles of physics to transfer the heat of the warm water to the steak more quickly, thus speeding up the thawing process. The specific steps are as follows:
Prepare a frying pan and add an appropriate amount of olive oil to the pan.
Place the steak in a frying pan and fry on both sides until lightly browned.
Remove the steak and dry the surface with a paper towel.
Place the steak in a clean bowl and pour warm water (about 40).
Place the bowl at room temperature and about 5 minutes to thaw the steak completely.
The reason why this method is able to defrost the steak quickly is that the heat of the warm water can be quickly transferred to the surface of the steak, causing the ice on the surface to melt. The internal temperature of the steak is still low, so it does not cause the nutrients inside the steak to be lost.
It should be noted that during the thawing process, the steak should be turned frequently so that it can be guaranteed to thaw evenly. Also, take care to control the water temperature, too high a water temperature may cause the inside of the steak to become cooked.
Here are some other ways to thaw steak quickly:
Refrigeration and thawing method in advance: The day before cooking, remove the frozen steak and place it in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator. The temperature of the cold compartment is relatively low, which can effectively slow down the defrosting rate of the steak.
Faucet rinse thaw method: Remove the frozen steak and place it in a clean bowl. Turn on the faucet and rinse the surface of the beef nugget with cold running water. Cold water can help the ice on the surface of the beef nuggets melt quickly.
Microwave defrosting: Microwaving to defrost a steak is the quickest method, but it can also easily cause the inside of the steak to become cooked. Therefore, when thawing a steak in the microwave, pay attention to the following:
Cut the steak into thin slices, which will shorten the defrosting time.
Place the steak on a microwave-safe thawing tray and wrap it in plastic wrap.
Place the steak in the microwave and defrost it according to the thickness of the steak.
During the thawing process, the steak should be turned frequently so that the steak can be evenly thawed.
