YES!
Keep your steak in a bowl of water and put it in the microwave for 15 minutes.
The water will prevent the steak from cooking.

Keep changing the water every 5-10 minutes. The cold, frozen steak cools the water off quickly, so you have to change it frequently for this method to be effective. I do it all the time (I hate microwave defrost). Just be persistent.

There's probably a "defrost" setting on the microwave. I do it all the time.

i wouldn't, you'll end up cooking it in there and that is not a good thing...if you really need to "force thaw" , as they call in the bizz... try running water, not soaking in bowl of water..and use cool water for safety reasons

TRY 3 MIN AT 30% POWER PER POUND. IF YOU NEED MORE TIME GO IN 1 MIN INCREMENTS SO YOU DON'T START COOKING EDGES,IF YOU SEE THIS START TO HAPPEN STOP OR EDGES WILL BE RUBBERY
