Try cooking a steak (or whatever else you have) as is, with only minimal seasoning. (Salt, pepper, maybe a little Mrs Dash) Taste that, and see how you like it. Then try other things with the same cut of meat. I wouldn't salt the meat after thawing, just use a marinade of some sort (anything that you like for beef). Its kind of one of those things that you don't know until you try it. Try as is, and then go from there!
