I had two pittiful cuts of steak I needed to cook and hoped to make them as juicy as possible. I have never heard of broiling steak, and I am glad I tried it. My steaks were already thawed and after shaking on Fiesta Brand Texas Style Steak Seasoning with Tenderizer on both sides, I let them sit out at room temperature for several hours. I brushed butter on one side and then broiled for 6 minutes, turned them, brushed butter on the opposite side, and broiled for six additonal minutes. I then removed them from the oven and wrapped foil around them to make a pouch and let them sit for 10 minutes. For pittiful steaks, they had a great flavor and were a lot juicier than they would have been if I would have cooked them in another fashion. -my steaks were fairly thin and 12 minutes cooked them to a well done state...I will try less time next time.

The key to a juicy steak is not always to keeps it frozen. In fact you need to be careful of that because you shock the meat and can 1) either hurt it to where it get tougher and it cannot hold the juices. Or 2) you can get sick from taking the meat from one extreme temperature to the other extreme temperature. I have found that if you thaw it out slowly in the refrigerator and the take it out to bring it to a more normal temp. You will find that it actually does make the steak very tender and juicy. Also, after you are done cooking it.. Put it on a plate and cover it with foil for ten minutes. It redistributes the juices and helps keep the tenderness. If you every wonder what takes so long at some restaurants for your steak, its because they let it sit for a little bit to make the juices redistribute before bringing it out to the table.

Love the concept, just not quite set on broiling steak frozen so I thawed them in cold water. I added some more seasonings for our taste and this came out great.

Delicious! My steaks were were thawed. I had already salted and seasoned the steaks with thyme before I found this recipe. I went ahead and added the butter and worchestershire. Made for some terrific steak. Next time I'll omit the thyme and salt. A keeper for sure!

Ok. I've never in my life been able to make a steak that wasn't dry, rubbery, or tough. As of tonight, I am the steak master, thanks to this recipe. I didn't quite follow the recipe to a T.. Actually, I have a date tomorrow night, and offered to cook him a wonderful steak dinner, so tonight was a trial run. I used 2 6oz filet mingons, and after preheating the broiler, I realized I was completely out of butter. So, I improvized. Also out of Worchestshire sauce, so here's what I did. I substetuted the Worchestshire sauce for an equal amount of Liquid Smoke, used garlic powder in place of the cloves, and nixed the butter. I kept these in for 8 minutes on each side, and when I took them out, they were still very rare, but since that's how I like my steaks personally, it was perfect. Juicy beyond belief, and the flavor was amazing. I'm definately going to use this recipe tomorrow for the date, and will definately try it with the butter added in! I do suggest upping the broiling time to about 10-12 minutes/side for thick cut steaks like I used. I will definately be using this recipe often! So incredibly easy! Thanks so much!!!!

For an oven broiled steak these turned out great! I admit I made a change or two. I am on house arrest/detention so I couldn't go outside and use the grill(get a DWI & you'll know the feeling!)like I normally would. I used two bone-in ribeyes, cut about an 1 1/2" thick. Mine were also thawed. I marinated them in the "soup" for about an hour. I went a little lighter on the tenderizer and a little more with the garlic powder. I threw them in my olive oiled 12" cast iron skillet under the pre-heated broiler for about 9 minutes on each side (remember mine are 1 1/2") and they came out pink and juicy with a great flavor! We enjoyed our steaks with some steamed broccoli, mashed potatoes and an alcohol free beverage, watching the latest episode of COPS! A bit of added advice: If you're gonna cruise, stay away from the booze!

Great new way to cook steak! New for me, anyway. I've never been very good at cooking steak indoors, but I just tried this recipe and the results were delicious! An additional benefit is the steak is cooked in its frozen state, so I can buy all the steak I want when it's on sale and keep it in the freezer and not bother with defrosting, and worrying about the steak losing quality during defrosting, either. Next time I'll try some changes: Less meat tenderizer, maybe a bit more worcester sauce, an additional clove or 2 of garlic, and broiling a bit shorter time... Anyway, I love it! Thank you!

I don't want to be overly critical, but the key to a juicy steak has nothing to do with whether or not it is frozen when you cook it. A truly great steak will be grilled at temp's reaching around 700 degrees. when you cook at this temp, the outside of the meat is immediately seared, thus locking the juices inside and giving you that perfect, crisp exterior that is the mark of a truly fine steak. While I agree that butter is a fine addition to almost any steak. I would deviate from some of these reviewers whom seem to view this as some new and unique technique. The French and Italians have been buttering steaks for years, and most of the better American steakhouses I've been to do this also. There are few things in life better than a thick cut steak marinated in olive oil, generously salted and peppered, and then seared to perfection over an oak fire. If you then serve the steak with a melting dob of tarragon butter- it's almost a religious experience.

As someone who is "culinary-challenged" the steaks were really easy to make. It took a little longer to cook than stated, but I think my cut of meat was pretty thick. My sister, who is a chef, couldn't stop eating it!

I liked this recipe but it was a little salty. I followed the recipe to a tee, next time I think that I will leave out the salt or meat tenderizer. Overall a very good recipe.

I have cooked frozen steaks on the BBQ many times using very similar seasonings with great success, but I have never tried them in the oven. I was very dissappointed - it tasted like it was cooked... well, in the oven! Not good at all - not even close to the flavor of steaks cooked on a BBQ. Pan fried would even taste better than this method. Sorry...

I had absolutely no problems with this recipe. Even though I accidently thawed the steak out, I followed the rest of the recipe exactly and it came out perfect! And it was so easy and quick! It took me literally about 12 minutes to make. Delicious!!
