I've cooked steaks w/o defrosting and the results have been excellent.
You do have to remember that cooking will take longer to get to the
degree of doneness you prefer. Also, there is a tendency for the meat
to get a little dry on the surface, so I usually put a *little* oil on
the steak as it cooks (butter works well as does a high quality cooking
oil). I grill/broil the steak.
I think there's quite a split of opinion re: whether it's better to
defrost or to cook frozen. IMO, there's less water/juice loss if the
steak's cooked frozen.
