To thaw:
     It is recommended you defrost your steaks in the original wrapping for 10 to 12 hours in your refrigerator. If you choose to serve steaks in less time, you may cook your unthawed steaks by allowing one-third to one-half more cooking time, placing the meat farther from the heat than for thawed steaks. Uncooked thawed portions may be refrozen by tightly wrapping in plastic and freezer paper or heavy foil. Red meats may be refrozen once without appreciably affecting the quality, if not refrozen for an extended period of time.

     To prepare:  Bring meat to room temperature. For juicy, more flavorful steaks, turn with tongs, not a fork, turning only once during the cooking process. Salt and season immediately before cooking to retain natural juices.
