The Best Way

The best way to wake up your meat is with a cold water bath! First, seal it in a plastic ziplock bag and then submerge it in a bowl of cold water. You can also add a slow drip of cold water from the sink to speed up the process. With this method you can defrost meat in about an hour (depending on the size of the cut), without encouraging bacteria growth or altering the taste or texture of the meat.
