One
of the benefits of mail order steaks is that you get them packed and frozen
using the most advanced technology. This assures that the steak will retain its
original flavor and tenderness for around six to 12 months as long as it
remains frozen. However, it is important to thaw frozen steaks the proper way
to get the most from its qualities, and to allow for refreezing if this becomes
necessary.
Experts
say that it is not advisable to thaw steak at room temperature, as this will
not only take up a long time, but can also cause bacteria to form. The best method of thawing steaks
is by keeping it in the bottom shelf of your refrigerator for around 24 hours.
This will defrost the steak slowly at a temperature that is not conducive to
the formation of bacteria, and will allow the steak to retain its moisture and
flavor.
If
you need to thaw the steak more quickly, you can let it sit in its packaging on
a sink filled with cold water. The water will gradually warm up and thaw the
steak faster than in the refrigerator. This method usually takes only around 20
minutes.
A
faster way of defrosting steak is by using the microwave set at “defrost”.
However, some experts do not recommend this method, because it causes the steak
to lose its natural juices. Whichever defrosting method you prefer, just
remember to thaw the steak in its packaging.
