Can you steam Steak if so whats it like nice or not nice?!?
I bought a steamer and want to be as healthy as possible but am thinking it might not be very nice to steam and perhaps I should grill it instead.

This person had good luck steaming a steak.
Steamed Steak
A little backstory on this one. My friend was over my house, we were fixing to make ourselves dinner (cooking with your friends can be great fun, you may find) and I had this fairly new steamer. Whatever the reason, he and I both decided we could go for some steak. Well, we put two and two together: we'd steam the steak! We scoured the Internet for some sort of recipe, but none was available. We worked out a recipe ourselves for something that, as far as I know, is totally original.
How'd it come out? It was fantastic. It was tender, juicy, and succulent. It was flavorful as well, but in a fashion different than that of a more orthodox steak.
One frozen steak (I don't know what kind I used, but considering the size of steamers you probably don't want anything with a bone in it)
Salt
Pepper
Steamer
Excepting the steamer, if you don't have this stuff, how the hell do you cook anything?
Anyway, you have all this stuff in front of you. Fill your steamer to the "high" level with water. You might not need that much, but it won't hurt anything.
Now, back to your steak, which has probably thawed a little. You'll probably have to break or saw the stubborn thing into several pieces to make it fit into your steamer. Jimmy it into the steaming bowl.
Assemble the steamer.
Now, of course, as any true steak afficionado will realize, you want the steak to be pink in the center. Now how fast you reach that depends on how fast your water heats up, how big the steak bits are, and all that, but anywhere from 25-45 minutes is my guess. Use your judgement.
