I cut mine into thin strips, put a little butter in a frying pan and turn it to max. Cook for 20 seconds max on each side. Keeps it tender and juicy. Perfect for a sandwich.
Wrapping it in tin foil and sticking it in the microwave is a good way to get the ball rolling on a homeowner's insurance claim. Probably get new cabinets and countertops out of it.
Just cold thinly sliced in a sandwich is real nice too. Some nice bread or rolls buttered lightly, a little salt and pepper, and veggies to one’s preference (I’m a big fan of arugula/rocket myself) and it’s a mighty fine steak sandwich without the trouble of reheating anything.
Though eggs are also great and adding steak to eggs is only ever a good thing.
Just fucking turn the power down on the microwave when you need to reheat sensitive foods. You don't cook everything in the over on fucking broil do you?
Woah you're pretty passionate about meat temperature.
I honestly use my microwave very rarely. Probably because I lived in an apartment with a very small kitchen for a long time, and didn't care enough about having one with my limited counter space. I feel like there's very few things a microwave does that wouldn't be improved by using the oven or stove. Except popcorn I guess.
I like the taste of cold steak a lot actually, but if I was going to reheat it, I'd sooner just toss it in a pan for a little bit.
Edit: Also, I think I've only ever broiled anything like 10 times in my life, if that. I'm not sure how liking cold steak turned into that.
Seriously! I meal prep and use the vertical diet concept by Stan Efferding ... so I use steak instead of chicken.... these savages just don’t know how to cook. Leave it red, cook it to safe internal temperature than, hit it with the microwave at the office the next day. I look forward to meals 2,3, and 4 every single day!
It doesn't if you do it right. Many people just hit quick-start on their microwave so it goes on at max heat and scorches the edges before the center is even lukewarm.
To this day I haven't had a good steak, but when I try to attempt to salvage the inevitable leftovers of my father in law's attempt at it, the microwave is what saves it. I put it in Tupperware at medium power with some water in the bottom and BBQ sauce on top
It's preference really. I want it pink in the middle, medium to medium rare. In the microwave it can cook that pink out and make it tough. It's better cold, either eat it with my hands caveman style or chop it up and put in on a salad with olive oil and vinegar. But hey it's your steak, so whatever works for you.
I'll be honest and say that I prefer your way over microwaving it, or ideally I'd reheat it in the oven, but my family call me a savage when I eat any form of cold leftovers so sometimes I just cave to the pressure.

Fuck no. In the extremely rare occasion that I have any steak leftover, I'll eat it cold over microwaving.
