So, I started out with a frozen rib steak. I had previously tried the reverse sear method with good results, and might have done so with this one, but I hadn't decided yet--with the oven pan and rack there is a bit more cleanup. Anyway, I put the steak to thaw in a pot of water and added some hot water to make it warm, but I forgot the tap was on. The steak more than thawed, it became warm. I checked with the Thermopen and found it had reached 100* F. I decided to go with the procedure as if I had warmed it in the oven, except I patted it dry and seasoned it at this point. The results were excellent! Medium rare and juicy with a nice crust. An interesting alternative to the oven?
