Step by Step Method
Step 1
Turn one of the metal pots upside down
Step 2
Place the steak (wrapped in plastic) on top of pot
Step 3
Place the second metal pot on top of the steak, fill with room-temperature water. The amount of water doesn't really matter - it's just to make the pot heavier.
Step 4
In five minutes your 1cm-thick steak (3/8 inch-thick) will be completely defrosted. And a 5cm-thick steak (2 inch-thick) only takes 10 minutes.
