    not a good idea. it will not cook properly. Because it is so cold in the middle you won't get a good sear on the outside and will end up overcooking it. for a quick thaw put it under cold running water...

    Yes you will have to cook it longer so use less direct heat or all indrect heat when cooking frozen meat. Otherwise you will end up with burnt meat on the outside and barely done inside.

    Personally I love to grill and cook in general so I always make sure the meat defrosted before hand. To defrost a microwave can work good if used right, but the best way to defrost meat is a hour or two submerged in warm water.

    If you dont care how it taste you can,but if you let it sit at room temperature and grill it afterwards itv will taste better and will not be a tough.always grill you meat at room temperture over hot hot grill and keep an eye on it and pull it off the grill after about 6minutes on each side for medium well 1" slab of meat or 4 min each side for medium rare (which has more flavor) if you like it well done save yourself all the trouble and just get some card board and pour on the ketchup.

    Yes but would be better to thaw completely, just cook a little longer. Frozen burgers seem to grill ok, same with frozen chicken breasts.

    It really depends on what kind of meat. If your talking Pork loin, or something along that line yes, season, brown all around and then move off the heat and cook until done. Try using a meat thermometer. If your talking steak, no... chicken would be okay.... but cook it slow so the inside defrosts as the outside gets done... good luck!

    Eh, pop it in the microwave for 3-4 minutes. You don't want it to be frozen when you put it on the grill.

    Microwave on only 50% power for a minute or 2 then place on grill.

    Yes, but be careful. Cook the meat very slow to ensure the outside doesn't get burned and the inside stays raw.

    I would sear it on both sides and then transfer it to the oven in a covered pan for about 20 minutes.

    That will depend on the type of steak.

    You could slice it very finely and stir fry it for a faster meal.
