Leave it on the counter until it’s defrosted, preferably on a cooling rack so it doesn’t sit in pooling liquid. So defrosting on your counter means paying attention to the temperature. You want to move on to cooking it right away once it’s defrosted. If you aren’t going to be able to do that, defrost in the fridge where it will remain at a safe temperature.
Once you remove it from it’s package, you put it into a Ziplock bag, remove the air and seal.
Place in a bowl of room temperature water-let the water take some of the cold then replace the water with more room temp or very slightly warm. Let the steak sit there for 15 minutes or so. Remove from bowl. remove steak from Zip lock, dry and let sit at room temperature until it has warmed to room temp- or place back into a zip lock with some water and 1 teaspoon salt and brine it for a couple of hours again -at room temperature before grilling.
