I'm probably buying this to make my own hamburger meat out of steak. How well does it do with raw steak?

If you have a micro wave in the 1300 watt power range it does well. It will even sear the meat. I have a 1350 watt micro wave and can turn out a medium well steak seared on both sides in about 6 minutes. The power your micro wave matters.

John,I've had the portable kitchen for over a year and love it. Steaks, chicken breast or burgers all cook up great. I've been getting my butcher to cut steak sized center cut pork chops. They are as good as ribeye steaks, it takes a little soaking in a brine solution, but the PK gives them a flavor that's beyond your imagination. I haven't tried a rack of ribs, but I think the PK will cook most anything, that's why it's called the Portable Kitchen. I bought the PK to replace a similar aluminum cooker that was 35 years old.

I imagine that you could put a small amount of raw meat in it to cook. I gave this to my husband. He only uses it at work on his desk to heat canned stew, soup or leftovers. He doesn't have the proper tools to prepare a whole recipe involving raw meat while at his workplace. The product seems to only advertise that it warms the food.

I make one large hamburger in it. The heat is great and it does a good job. Two steaks.....well I do think its a bit small for that.I have a larger counter top grill that I use for more then one item.

It works great on an electric stove. I have one and love it. Matter of fact, I like it so well I bought one for my daughter for Christmas. It works great with steaks, burgers and sliced veggies. Haven't tried shrimp or chicken yet, but I'm sure it will be good, too. You can sear the outside while the inside of the meat stays pink.

Not really. It doesn't get hot enough I've noticed to give a good sear on food thus lacking in some flavor and obviously texture. Works well for veggies and burgers and fish but steaks are the weak point for our use.

sorry, I ordered it as a gift and had it sent to them. I have not seen it, but they brag all the time about how good steaks are cooked on it. I will ask them,your question, not sure how to get the answer rto you.

I haven't used it for that yet but it works well on other meats so I can't imagine that it wouldn't perform beautifully.

Hello Elena,I have used my KitchenAid several times to mix ingredients into ground beef for special burgers. I have also used it to mix spices into my homemade pork sausage. I have never had a problem. Make sure you do not use a meat that is not thoroughly thawed and break it apart as you put it in the mixing bowl. I have had the best luck with the dough hook attachment. IMHO the only thing that can make your meat tough is if it is too lean or not cooked properly. Good luck.Bob

I have not tried steaks as yet. Still getting use to how it cooks. It cooks hamburgers differently than what I expected. It is like anything else new, one has to get use to it. I do not see why it wouldn't do the job on steaks.

Yes! I've used it as a marinade on thinly sliced beef. Use a "tougher" meat.....not one that is marbled with fat!

I only use it with ground meat. I do not think it is intended for use with sliced meat. The package says mix with 1lb. of meat. Hope this helps.

I have cooked premade frozen hamburger patties on this grill. It takes longer to cook them. I don't know if any other meats like frozen pork chops would work. I would be really careful to check the meat for doneness if you decide to try it. Best of luck.

If you keep the meat cold almost frozen it works better. Don't force the meat too much and it will do a great job. I use mine to grind chuck roast and pork butt.

I actually have never tried cooking a steak. I only use mine for paninis and grilled cheese. It can do hamburgers so I'm assuming it can do a steak as well. Sorry I can't be anymore helpful.

Yes. You can do any meat on it. Prepackaged, bulk, everything. I have thawed thick steaks, to thin, premade hamburger patties. No problem.
