Not sure why you'd freeze steak (unless you're buying it in large quantities) but it should defrost in 24 hours (longer if defrosting in the fridge). No special requirements (other than avoiding freezing it!).

To speed up the process, put it in a plastic bag and make sure all the air is squeezed out before you tie it and make it TOTALLY watertight. Then pop it in a dish of cold water.

Depends on the size of the steak... If it's one small portion it'll take less than 24 hours. More so 4-5 hours
