Leave it in its original packaging. Place it in a pan to catch any purge that might leak out and put it in the fridge. If you can put it on a middle shelf and be assured that it will not leak and contaminate other foods, that shelf will probably be a bit warmer than the lower shelves and could encourage a faster thaw. Depending on the size of the steak, one day should do it.

The steak can be cooked while still icy.

Put it in the freezer. However to thaw a steak run the package under room temp water for a while.

Assuming you don't have access to a microwave oven, put it in a ziplock bag with a little salt, and maybe some other seasonings, and toss it in a sink full of hot water.

You can leave it overnight in the fridge to defrost, if you need it to defrost quicker leave it somewhere warmer, if the steak is good quality you can even cook it from frozen.

How do you defrost a steak in 5 minutes?

If you *really* needed to defrost a steak in five minutes, you can either use the defrost setting on a microwave (watch it carefully), or you can place it in a moderately hot bowl of water while it is still in the packaging. Ideally you would leave the steak out in the kitchen for as long as it takes to get to room temperature. Frozen steaks should be left overnight, or all day, and chilled steaks about an hour.
